Introduction

 

 

When we first learned about God, we learned basic truths about Him.  As we grew older we learned about God in greater depth. The challenge to us as we grow in faith is to not lose sight of the basic truths about God and how they should affect our life.  Peter wrote, “I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are firmly established in the truth you now have. I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live…and I will make every effort to see that after my departure you will always be able to remember these things” (2 Pet. 1:12,13,15).

 

Our study of God is one of paradoxes.  On the one hand, God is the ultimate in complexity. We cannot begin to comprehend His ways.  On the other hand, God is the ultimate in simplicity. John writes “God is love” (1 Jn 4:16) and “God is light; in Him there is no darkness at all” (1 Jn 1:5).  God is love and knowledge and might brought to perfection.

 

My goal is not to try to provide the answer for whatever problem you are facing today but to remind you of the basic truths about God and to help you see how God wants to work in your life. We can experience God every day in the midst of our everyday activities.  We should devote ourselves daily to prayer and God’s word. Through these and the help and guidance of our Christian ministers and comrades and the leading of the Holy Spirit, we will be equipped to face whatever the day may bring.
