Hey, I'm David Platt. I wrote a book on how to read the Bible, a simple guide to deeper intimacy with God.

I think about Psalm 119, 162. It says, I rejoice at your word like one who finds great spoil.

There is spoil. There's treasure waiting for you and me every day in God's word, not just so that we know it and understand it,

but so that we know God and walk in love relationship with God.

That's why I wrote this book to help you toward that end.

So I encourage you to pick it up wherever books are sold.

Pray the Word with David Platt is a resource from radical.net.

Josea chapter 6, verse 3.

Let us know. Let us press on to know the Lord.

His going out is sure as the dawn.

He will come to us as the showers,

as the spring rains that water the earth.

Is that not an incredible admonition exhortation?

Let us know. Let us press on to know the Lord.

Like I just picture us saying that to each other. I wish I could look you in the eye

right now, you looking at him in the eye, and I's just saying this to each other. Let's know.

Let's press on to know the Lord. I think about Jeremiah chapter 29, let not the wise man boast and wisdom. Let not the rich man boast in his riches.

Don't boast in these things. Let him who boast boast in this, that he knows and understands me

that I am the Lord. This is our boast, Jeremiah 9 says, that we know God. So, Josea 6, verse 3, let's know him.

Let's press on to know him, knowing that he will come to us as the showers, as spring rains.

What imagery that water the earth, life is found in knowing God,

and pressing on every single day to know him more. And I just want to encourage you today
