Charles Stanley Daily Devotional 30 March 2026 (In Touch) Monday Message
Charles Stanley Daily Devotional TOPIC: Knowing God’s Heart
SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY: Deuteronomy 4:29-30
People long to be understood. This is because we were created in God’s image—He is a relational being who desires for His children to know and understand Him.
Just as you don’t want to be known for only superficial details, it’s not enough to simply know about the Lord. He wants us to learn how He thinks and feels, what’s important to Him, and what His purposes are. Of course, it’s impossible for us to completely know the mind of the Creator. Isaiah 55:9 tells us, “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.”
However, we can better understand God’s heart and character by seeking Him and learning daily from His Word. If we truly desire to walk in His ways, we must first genuinely know Him. We come to know our friends better by sharing more experiences together. Similarly, we will also understand God better the longer we walk with Him and meditate on His Word.
God wants you to seek Him with all your heart, and He promises that when you do, you will find Him (Jeremiah 29:13). So, the next time you’re feeling misunderstood, turn to the One who knows you perfectly. Even more importantly, ask the Lord to help you know Him better.
Bible in One Year: 1 Samuel 19-21
THOUGHT FOR TODAY: Seek God with all your heart, and you will find Him.
