Know the Word, But know God better!

[My Offline Bible] Jeremiah  2
8 The priests said not, Where is the LORD? and they that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit.

'They that handle the law knew me not...'
The greatest virtue of the knowledgeable is his ability to defy the lure of pride that comes with knowledge.
The ability to accommodate all including the ignorant separates the knowledgeable from the wise.
If God were to deal with us the way we deal with those who don't know as much as we do none of us will be able to look up to His face.
If we are privileged to handle His word we must also be able to show enough responsibility to know Him and His ways.
The essence of knowing His word is to know His ways and not just to give a fair show. God isn't marking our script of knowledge, He expects the result of knowledge to be seen in what we do. Being Christians is more than knowing scriptures, knowing God is more than being able to quote them... , godliness is more than merely getting your doctrines rightly, it is being able to let it show in our conducts, and how we act and react to the happenings around us...  ye know these things happy are ye if ye do them...
Ability to do what we know is the burden of knowledge! Good morning!
