The poster hung in a prominent place on my co-worker's office wall, dominating his workspace. You could not help but be drawn to the eccentric likeness of Albert Einstein depicted therein. God has made few faces like his. And underneath the somewhat bemused visage of this great physicist were the words, "I want to know God's thoughts."
I do too.
Albert Eistein was a smart guy, brilliant even, but he didn't know everything. He admitted that he didn't know the mind of God.
You and I can know God's thoughts. They are contained in God's word, the Bible. And they are more important to us than any scientific knowledge, any worldly education, or any brilliance we might possess in other areas. Education and knowledge in other areas is good and worthy, but education in God's word is more so. Solomon said it like this, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge." (Proverbs 1:7) Knowledge of God is the starting point.
And one of the psalmists said it like this, "I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation." (Psalm 119:99)
Do you want to know God's thoughts? Spend some time in God's Word today, and watch how it improves every other area of your life as well.
