FAITH CAPSULE: Knowing God is having a relationship with God.

Psalm 142, Daniel 6

One that does not know God becomes short of benefits encased in knowing God.
A commitment to giving regard to God will build a relationship with God. 
David was giving regard to God. 
David had a relationship with God. 
One with a relationship with God determines the kind of communication with God.
The relationship of David with God is evidenced by his communication with God when he states, “I cry out to the Lord with my voice; With my voice, to the Lord, I make my supplication. I pour out my complaint before Him; I declare before Him my trouble. (Psalm 142:1-2) One that does not know God cannot have a special relationship by communicating with God.
Relationship with God is the evidence of knowing God.
In life, personalizing God is from giving regard to God constantly. Personalizing God builds up a relationship with God. 
Relationship with God is evidence of how much one knows God. 
Is it your desire to know God? 
God has given what it takes for one to be knowledgeable about Him. However, knowing God is a choice and not by force. 
One with the choice of knowing God will be full of the knowledge of God and not lack the knowledge of God. 
Just like David, Daniel knew God. 
The Bible testifies about Daniel stating that those who know their God shall do exploit. (Daniel 11:32) 
Truly Daniel did exploit when he lived as an overcomer through four different unbelieving kings that could hurt or terminate his life. 
Daniel constantly gave regard to God. 
In captivity, he did not complain, but he purposed heart not to defile himself with what is not of God. (Daniel 1:8) 
Daniel, a man of God, gave regard with his custom prayer approach to God. (Daniel 6:10)
David, Daniel lived life as an example of giving regard to God and knowing God.
One with the heart not to know God becomes short of the benefit encased in knowing good gracious God. 
To lack knowledge of God makes a man a vessel that perishes. 
The word of God states it clearly, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children. (Hosea 4:6)
The lack of knowledge is evidence of one that does not give regard to God.
Giving regard to God is very crucial to navigate through the wicked word. Give God regard. 
The Bible cautions, “Because they do not regard the works of the Lord, nor the operation of His hands, He shall destroy them and not build them up. (Psalm 28:5)
Give God all your regard; become built-in Him for your inheritance among the sanctified.

Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you to have a relationship with Him by knowing Him.
