As Christians, we always say that we want to know God more and more each day. But how do we actually get to know God each day? By reading the bible? How does that help? Let me try to put things into perspective here.

There are many faces of God. And i pray that today, we are knowing more and more of the character of God each day. The character of God is definitely not one dimensional. Let's look at the bible.

The God to Abraham magnified God's faithfulness.
The God to Moses magnified a deliverer.
The God to David magnified God's close relationship with David.

The God to Jesus was an Abba Father.
The God to Paul was the ultimately authority.
The God to John was about hope for the future in revelation as well as the judge in God the father.

And the list carries on.

You see, if you're from an Asian family, you'll form a more natural perspective of an authoritative dad.
If your dad is a workaholic, or someone who does not care for the family, your inclination will be a cold and uncaring father who is only interested in big things.

But our dads are imperfect. Don't let who you see limit who God is.

Enrich your spiritual life. Just like a housewife would not only want to know the husband as the provider of the family, but is interested in the husband as a dad to the kids, as a protector, as a source of love, as a leader etc. we should really get to know more about God each day.

Get to know not only the depth of each trait of God but also increase the number of traits you can really understand and have experienced God through. It may help if you can just list down the traits you know of God and attach the memorable experiences you had with God as you experience that face of God.

I think many of us know the different faces of God through our experiences but we may not be able to organise these thoughts of God's character properly.

I hope that this post will give you a new perspective about what knowing God more each day really mean to you.
