What comes into your mind when you think about God? That question, A.W. Tozer once said, reveals more about your future than anything else. In this message from The Wisdom Journey, Stephen Davey opens a new series on the character of God. From creation’s beauty to the revelation of Scripture, we are invited to study God’s nature, His works, and His attributes. Why does this matter? Because knowing God leads to wisdom for life’s decisions, direction in uncertain times, courage in trials, fruitful living, and unshakable security. This episode also reminds us of a staggering truth: God Himself longs to be wanted. He has revealed enough of Himself so that we can know Him, walk with Him, and trust Him fully. Whether you feel spiritually weary or simply want to grow deeper in your walk with Christ, this study will challenge and encourage you to pursue the greatest relationship of all—knowing the God who already knows you.
