J.I. Packer
"What were we made for? To know God. What aim should we set ourselves in life? To know God. What is the "eternal life" that Jesus gave? Knowledge of God. "this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent" (John 17:3)
What is the best thing in life, bringing more joy, delight and contentment than anything else? Knowledge of God. "This is what the Lord says: 'Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of his strength or the rich man boast of his riches, but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me' " (Jer 9:23-24)
What, of all the states God ever sees man in, gives God most pleasure? Knowledge of himself. "I desired..... The knowledge of God more than burnt offerings," says God (Hos 6:6)
... This is not new information for us but what an awesome reminder of how we are created to be in an intimate relationship with our Creator.
... We were made for Him and for His glory
... May we boast only in Him and find our complete and utter satisfaction in our loving Savior
... Remember~ God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied with Him
