In just a short time he will restore us, so that we may live in his presence. Oh, that we might know the Lord! Let us press on to know him. He will respond to us as surely as the arrival of dawn or the coming of rains in early spring. -Hosea 6:2-3(NLT)
PRESS ON TO KNOW THE LORD
A poem and essay by ILMA
If you press on to know the Lord and his ways
You will be restored and live in his presence always
He will respond to you as surely as the arrival of dawn
He will answer and rescue you so you won’t wait long.
If you press on to study God’s character and truth
He will build a strong foundation that will take deep roots
If you constantly seek him, you will become more like him
You will know the truth, be set free and be redeemed.

“Press on” is defined as: to continue to be determined despite setbacks, to apply direct pressure to something. There are elements that are present in “pressing on.” It involves pressure and moving forward or going against the pressure. We can’t press on, if there is no pressure or resistance involved.
The bible tells us that we need to press on knowing the Lord. It is by seeking Him that we win over the pressures of this world. It is by pushing forward to him that we are restored.
PRAYER
Lord, help me press on to you.
REFLECTION
Why do we need to continue to seek and study the Lord and his word?

But those who wish to boast should boast in this alone; that they truly know me and understand that I am the Lord who demonstrates unfailing love and who brings justice and righteousness to the earth, and that I delight in these things, I, the Lord, have spoken!
-Jeremiah 9:24 (NLT)
WHAT DELIGHTS THE LORD
A poem and essay by ILMA
Whenever you feel the urge to boast about anything
Line it up with what the word of God brings
There is no point in boasting about your insight
God can take away anything when you resist and fight.
Seek and truly know your Lord and Savior
It is the only thin Pg you can boast to others
He wants you to spread justice and righteousness
He takes delight when you obey and give up lawlessness.

What brings you happiness in life? Is it a spouse who showers you with love or a child that brings you so much delight? For many years, I have worked hard to be a responsible mother and faithful servant to God. I used to take pride in being a supermom. When I was saved, God showed me what really delighted him.
The bible tells us that if there is anything that we can boast about, it is truly knowing him and understanding his unfailing love. He wants his people to be just and righteous.
PRAYER
Lord, thank you for your unfailing love.
REFLECTION
Why should we only boast of knowing Christ?
