Tozer on 'The Knowledge of God'

One thing I have done as part of my sitting with God on a daily basis is to read a thought a day from a book called "Tozer on Christian Leadership." 15 days in and it has proved very rewarding. I wanted to share his thought on 'The Knowledge of God' which was the reading from this Tuesday:

Probably the most widespread and persistent problem to be found among Christians is the problem of retarded spiritual progress. Why, after years of Christian profession, do so many persons find themselves no farther along than when they first beleived?...
The causes of retarded growth are many. It would not be accurate to ascribe the trouble to one single fault. One there is, however, which is so universal that it may easily be the main cause: failure to give time to the cultivation of the knowledge of God...
The Christian is strong or weak depending on how closely he has cultivated the knowledge of God...

Progress in the Christian life is exactly equal to the growing knowledge we gain of the Triune God in personal experience. And such experience requires a whole life devoted to it and plenty of time spent at the holy task of cultivating God. God can be known satisfactorily only as we devote time to Him.
