I remember a few years ago, (I think it was in a Meat Chew), I learned about making a Biography of God. I thought it was a good idea, so I started one, and it has been one of the most helpful things I have done over a long period of time in my devotions. I’ll admit there have been times when I’ve just been excited about “adding a new verse,” but God doesn’t care the number of verses in my Biography of God, He cares that I really know Him, not just know about Him. If I really know God, it will change me. When I get worried, I am completely forgetting what kind of God I have…a God who loves me, who gives me grace, who is always in control of all things, who always forgives my sins, who is always trustworthy, etc. When I really understand and meditate on what God is like, it brings so much peace in my life.
I am doing this Bible study right now called Quieting a Noisy Soul, and a big focus of it is to know God, and how we need to realize that God is more than enough for us, and that knowing Him will bring peace and stability. “Grace and peace be multiplied until you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, according as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue.” II Peter 1:2-3. I’ve been learning a lot from it, and over the next few weeks I’ll probably post more specifically about certain attributes of God that have really meant a lot to me.
By the way, did any of you make a Biography of God way back when we learned about it, and if so, do you still have it/use it?

That passage of Scripture is especially powerful in its teaching concerning the sufficiency of Christ and His Word. And yes, you cannot come away from it without truly believing that God is more than enough!
