Know Him and Make Him Known ~ Sunday Devotion
“He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.” John 1:10-11 (NIV)
Our purpose in life is to know God and to make Him known. That’s it. Period.
How do we know Him and make Him known?
The first part is pretty straightforward. Surrender your life to the Lord. Get to know Him. Spend time with Him.
The second part: Make Him known. That’s where our unique gifts and talents come in. That’s the part where we acknowledge where He’s placed us – our families, our jobs, our communities – and how we can share His love as we show up in those places.
Our one and only calling is to know God and to make Him known. Share on X
Because this space is about faith and fitness, I have to remind you (a lesson that took many years for me to learn) that losing weight is not God’s purpose for you.
I used to get up in the morning with one question on my mind: What can I do today that will result in weight loss?
Now I get up saying, “This is the day the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it.” And then I try to show up in a way that will honor the Lord.
We need to get up asking, “How can I know God more?” And “How can I make Him known in my corner of the world? In my sphere of influence?”
Action Step: If you don’t yet know Him, today is a good day to do that. He’s knocking on the door of your heart waiting for you to answer so you can get to know Him. If you do know Him, then how will you share His love with someone today?
Happy Sunday!
