Become Acquainted With God

Job 22:26  

"For then shalt thou have thy delight 

in the Almighty, and shalt lift 

up thy face unto God." 

        Instead of complaining as most of us do now; My Friends, we would find calm enjoyment in contemplating his character and his moral government. This is a correct account of the effects of reconciliation. He who becomes truly "acquainted" with God has pleasure in his existence and attributes; in his law and administration. No longer disposed to complain, he confides in him when he is afflicted; flees to him when he is persecuted; seeks him in the day of prosperity; prefers him to all that this world can give.

         When we lift our face up to God it is an emblem of prosperity, happiness, and conscious innocence. We hang our face down when we are conscious of guilt; we bow the head in adversity. When conscious of uprightness; when blessed with prosperity, and when we have evidence that we are the children of God, we look up toward heaven. This is the natural condition of human beings since the time of Creation made to look upward, while all other animals look grovelling on the earth. Let us not just know God, But Be Acquainted with God!

        Amen!
