I agree with you on how expansively we want to pursue knowing God: His commands, mercy, desires, Word, anger, mighty acts, outstretched arm, and so many things. I'm transitioning to thinking about His Word, commands and desires as a way to learn what kind of God we serve, in addition to my usual desire to obey and believe. He loves us so I'd like to better grasp what kind of God we serve through what He's revealed to us.
