“He made known His ways unto Moses, His acts unto the children of Israel” (Psalm 103:7). There is a world of difference between knowing the ways of the Lord, and knowing His acts.
To know His acts is to see what He does — to see the effectual workings of His will, to understand what comes from His hand, and what comes from the enemy. To know His acts is to know His work.
To know His ways is to see what He thinks — to see the workings of His heart and the mysteries of His mind, to understand what He desires, to love what He loves and hate what He hates. To know His ways is to know His heart!
It is surely a great privilege to know the acts of God — but oh, the blessed joy of knowing His ways! The children of Israel were more blessed than the Gentiles, for they knew His acts — but Moses was doubly blessed, for he also knew His ways!
What do I desire today? Can I say, with Paul: “I count all things but loss ... that I may know Him” (Philippians 3:8-10)? Am I seeking after the only knowledge that truly satisfies?
