God – Do You Know Him?

Prov 30 Agur must have been a man much like Job in that he wanted answers, but unlike Job, he didn’t seem to ask God for them. However, that being said, he analyzed much of society and nature just as a man studies the many pieces of a puzzle to see the whole. Although he admits his inability to be wise, he has observed that all about him, there is evidence of God because surely no man could ascend into heaven, yet He does that in Acts: Jesus “was lifted up and a cloud hid him from their sight.” Then he asks about the wind and the waters and the ends of the earth. How like Job in his questioning and answering!

Throughout the OT/NT, God reveals His work through men and nature. Agur studied them both and concluded yes, there is a God, and He has a Son. He then asks this profound question: “What is his name, and what is his son’s name? Surely you can know!” That is the question every believer should ask those who claim to be a Christian or do not.

I cannot wait to meet Agur in heaven and ask him how he came to all the conclusions he did.
