• Proverbs 3:6 – in ALL your ways…
(acknowledge vs. know) Him
• Hebrew word for know = yada = to know through personal experience
• God is not interested in you knowing about Him, He wants you to know Him – personally, intimately and completely
• Knowing Him means to follow Him (Luke 9:23-34)
• Everything is worthless compared to knowing Jesus (Phil 3:7-9)
• “My goal [in life] is to know Him” (Phil 3:10)
Is this your goal?
• Greek word for know = Ginosko = deep, personal, and intimate relationship
• Who is Jesus? He’s God (John 8:53-59)
• We should know how much He loves us (Ephesians 3:18) because of His sacrifice for our sins
• How strong is His love? (Romans 8:38-39)
• How do we love Him? Obey Him (John 14:15, 21, 24, 1 John 2:3-6)
When you truly know Jesus, you recognize that it’s not about rules to follow, it’s about a relationship to pursue
Obedience is not about perfection, It’s about direction
• Eternal Life = to Know Him (John 17:3)
• Know Him = Love Him = Obey Him
• David was one of the greatest examples of this…He was a man after God’s own heart (Acts 13:22)
• In ALL His Ways, David knew the Lord

• In ALL your ways KNOW Him!
