TMI, TMK, but TML is the Greatest

[S] 1 Corinthians 8:1-3 --
1 Now concerning things sacrificed to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge makes arrogant, but love edifies.2 If anyone supposes that he knows anything, he has not yet known as he ought to know;3 but if anyone loves God, he is known by Him.
[O] The terminology TMI stands for "too much information" used to describe that there are too much unnecessary information crowding up the essential information.  In light of that TMK leads to arrogance because it makes one forget about the most essential fact of even if we add up all the knowledge of man together it will still be a drop in a bucket of how this universe is made up of and functions.  Therefore no TMK is really TMK.  The only way to top TMK is with TML and TML is what God is pleased with.

[A] Our family's just going through a health crisis and after applying all the latest medical knowledge has discovered, there are still more unknowns than what is known which leaves us in a waiting state not knowing the root cause of this health issue.  Waiting for more information day by day is not only makes us anxious but also desires us to dig more for more knowledge as if that's going to clear things up -- thus can be a vicious cycle.  This passage teaches us to be content with our ability to love others and God, and foremost being known by God which we are sure of.

[P] Dear Father, thank You for a timely message for us to cling on to.  We love You and that's what You're most pleased about, so instead of trying to take on this world by digging into more knowledge, we humbly bow down before You to acknowledge that You are the mighty and grandiose God who knows this family's deep desire to honor and glorify You.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.

Rather to be Known by God

[S] Galatians 4:9 --
9 But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how is it that you turn back again to the weak and worthless elemental things, to which you desire to be enslaved all over again?

[O] This passage reminds me of how walking with God starts with God's reaching out to me to invite me into the wonderful relationship.  He did this not because I deserve it -- in fact, I'm far from deserving it -- but because His love for me is far greater than all of my stupidity to the max.  Reminding myself of this greater magnitude of His love for me is quite essential on daily basis because when I don't I do turn back again to the worthless things and away from God.

[A] I even need to watch myself saying things like, "When I do God's ministry" where the focus is the big "I".  I need to start thinking in terms of, "When God calls me into His ministry."

[P] Dear Father, thank You for inviting me into Your ministry for me to take part in Your wonderful plan unfolding here in this world.  Please continue to fill me with Your Holy Spirit so I won't lose site of You in this busy and crowded world I live in.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
