Daniel 11:32 is our Text … “The people that do know their God shall be strong.”
The verb “know” used here can (and often does) imply “intimate association.”
And the verb “be strong” means “to prevail,” to be an overcomer!
And not much else can be added, the divinely inspired Sentence being that plain!
It’s an equation:the better I know God … the stronger He will make me!
Cause and effect … Knowing God produces Strength within!
Do you need more power as a Christian?
Well, now we know the Solution to that weakness!
Don’t we?
Knowing God … through His Word!
Knowing God … through His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord!
Knowing God … through His Holy Spirit!
Knowing God … through prayer!
Knowing God, though to a lesser degree … through His working in our daily lives! Circumstance, Providence! (Psalm 37:23 … “The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD.”)
Little wonder Paul longs, craves, even states as his goal of life … “That I may know HIM.” Philippians 3:10
The the very next Phrase … “And the POWER of His Resurrection!”
Knowing God … and being strong!
This “hungry-to-know-God” Apostle named Paul also wrote to the Philippians … “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Philippians 4:13
Do WE want to know HIM like that?
