You need to know Him

I am watching a rerun of the Presidential debate tonight and it is an eye opening experience. I am impressed with the quality of these candidates. It's funny but when you watch CNN or MSNBC or one of the other news stations they present clips or highlights of the debates that don't even begin to reflect what the candidates are really all about. They show sound bites that present the candidates either looking real good or real bad.

You can't know what a candidate believes by watching a paste up presentation of put together clips. You need to watch them in action for a period of time and listen to what they say. That's the only way to see the real person.

You know the same thing is true of God. You can't let other people tell you about Him. You need to experience His presence. You need to walk with Him for a while. Once you do you begin to realize that there is a lot more to God than what you see in a movie or hear from a talking head. Your preacher can't even tell you all about God.

So why not pick up the Bible, find a quiet place and spend some quality time with God. If you don't know Him yet, I can tell you that you will be blessed when you finish.
