Anyone ever heard the saying, ‘It’s not about what you know, it’s about who you know.”? Well that my friends, is the goll dang truth. You can know all the facts in the world, b+mx-c, seven different forms of the word “be” or the chemical combustion of creating Cheetos (I don’t know if that’s a thing but if it is and you know it, good for you.) The truth is though no matter how much you know, how much knowledge you have in your brain, if you don’t know God, you don’t have anything.

Growing up I always thought that meant makings sure you have a lot of friends to put in a good word for you, which helps, of course. Or making sure you have always left a lasting impression at your jobs so your employers give you a good reference, also important. Or being the teacher’s pet and a straight A student so you get the best job and your teachers also give you a great reference, equally important.

However, at the end of the day, none of this matters. No matter how many friends you have, they aren’t going to be making the final call. No matter how amazing of an employee you are and how much money you make, that doesn’t matter once you make it to the other side. No matter how hard you study, and cry over your final grade, and lose nights of sleep cramming, none of that matters.

So rather than trying to know everything, and accomplish everything, and be everything, just know God. Know that he is in control. Know that he will be the one getting you through those hard classes, those crappy days at work, and those not so nice friends. In the end, God is the only one you need to KNOW. The rest is up to him. Know God, know peace.
