They that know their God

– Pastor Rusty – Jan. 9th 2026

“… but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.” Dan. 11:32.

We have built great teachings on knowing who you are in God? Some of this has helped, but sometimes this tends to feed the problem more then give answers. “Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it..🤔” Matt. 10:39. It is self defeating on finding who you are in Him when you are not convinced of who He is to begin with. A. W. Tower once wrote about a singular Christian concept called “The pursuit of God.” In Christ your identity is more about finding who He is in you than it is about finding who you are in Him.🤔 Doing Exploits is about they that know Him, not they that know themselves. There is such a thing as narcissism under a religious cloak, but it has been my observation that those Christian’s never find true peace or joy in the Lord. It’s the one who “loses his life for my sake that find it”. In Christ knowing who you are is always predicated on knowing who Who He Is. Find Him who is seated at the right hand of the Father. Self seeking in kingdom philosophy is like a snake eating its’ tail.🤔 It creates an endless cycle. “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.” Matt. 6:33.

Father, replace this generation of pursuing other things with a generation of pursuing you. Replace the cry for recognition for the cry of “That I may know him.” In Jesus name Amen!

“Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith— that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.” Phil. 3:8-11.
