God Is

One person I would love to have met is George Washington Carver. He created many things from a peanut or a sweet potato. He helped the economy of the South. According to biographical accounts, he asked God why He created the universe and God told GWC that was too much for him to understanding. So Carver tried something easier; he asked God why He created the peanut. From that, God showed Carver 300 uses of this legume. That amazes me that the man could do so much with so little. I wish I had known him. But you know what is better? Oh yeah, you know what I'm going to say. It would be better to know the God who shared the secret of the peanut with Carver, than to know Carver. Right. . . cut out the middle man. How awesome would it be for God to share such secrets with us?

Learning about joy has been fun and interesting. But now our focus is changing: less about us and more about our Creator. Let's take 30 days to learn who God is. In the first 30 days we planted seeds of joy with the expectation that we would receive a harvest of joy. What kind of harvest, or fruit of change, should we expect during God Is?

If we read about God daily, we should expect to learn about Him. Maybe our relationship with Him will grow. Maybe we will learn how to trust Him. Maybe we will understand Him better. So the harvest is a better relationship with your heavenly father. In turn, that will probably translate to a better relationship with yourself and others.

Moses told God,

Now therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight, show me now Your way, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight. And consider that this nation is Your people.” Exodus 33:13

"show me now Your way, that I may know You." If you watch what a person does, you will know more about that person. If we know what God says and watch what He does and does not do, we will understand who He is. Let's see who He is.
