For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom,
God decided, through the foolishness of our proclamation, to save those who believe.
There is a difference between knowing about God and knowing God. Many people know about
God. God is on our money. God is in our sacred documents. God's name is used by devout and
profane alike though sometimes only in a curse. Everybody knows about God. Supposedly more
than nine out of ten people in American believe in God. But knowing God... That is something
else.
(1 Corinthians 1:21
NRSV)
A little boy sent this letter to his pastor: "Dear Pastor, I know God loves me, but I wish he would
give me an A on my history test so I can be sure."
Dear God, I am grateful that you are close to me through your Holy Spirit. May your Spirit touch
me so that I will get to know you better with each day you have created. Amen.
