Thoughts From Psalm 135:5

Psalm 135:5 NLT
I know the greatness of the LORD- that our Lord is greater than any other god.

I know…those are some powerful words. To be able to say I know, you must have experience the situation or have a relationship with that person. That is the only way you can I know. I had an experience over 20 years ago at the VA hospital in St. Louis, Missouri during a week long visit. In the middle of the night I got a craving for a Pepsi, and the only place to get one was in the main lobby 3 floors down from my room. So, I ventured down to the lobby canteen. Of course, it was empty and there was an eerie feeling there. I was standing in front of the soda machine when I felt someone standing behind me. I turned around and there was a man standing there. He looked me straight in the eyes and asked “Do you believe in God?” Without blinking my eyes I replied ” Believe! I know God!” I turned back around to get my soda out of the machine and when I turned back to where he was standing he was gone. It was liked he vanished, nowhere to be seen. I’ll never know who or what he was, but I can tell you this, I never have been back in that canteen since!

There is a big difference in believing and knowing God. Many people say they believe in God, folks, demons even believe and they tremble. But knowing God is having a loving relationship with Him through what His Son Jesus Christ accomplished on the cross. When you have that relationship, you can boldly and confidently say I know God. I know God can and will forgive us, heal us, guide us, helps us, and loves us no matter what we do. Can you say “I know God?”
