This I Know -- A Guest Post by Allison Jones

A theology discussion in one of her classes made Allison Jones realize she didn't know what she believed about a certain topic. 

"I left that class feeling really confused about almost everything other than my core beliefs," she said. 

To remind herself of what she believed and that core beliefs are what really matter, she penned the poem, "This I Know." 

I asked her if I could share her poem with the Hungry for God readers, and she graciously agreed. I'm confident Allison's spiritual depth and insightful perspective will bless you, as they have me. Be sure to leave kind words for her in the comment box. 

This I Know

I don’t know 

Much about 

Theology, 

Or philosophy, 

Or ethics, 

Or anything really. 

But this I know: 

That I have believed 

In my heart, 

And confessed With my mouth, 

That Jesus is Lord. 

I don’t know 

Much about 

Theology, 

Or philosophy,

Or ethics, 

Or anything really. 

But this I know: 

I have died, 

And my life 

Is hidden With Christ, 

Who is my life. 

I don’t know 

Much about 

Theology, 

Or philosophy, 

Or ethics, 

Or anything really. 

But this I know: 

That my Father knows me, 

And holds me In His hand, 

And no one is able 

To snatch me away. 

I don’t know 

Much about 

Theology, 

Or philosophy, 

Or ethics, 

Or anything really. 

But this I know: 

That my Father 

Is slowly but surely, 

Conforming me 

To the image 

Of His Son. 

I don’t know 

Much about 

Theology, 

Or philosophy, 

Or ethics, 

Or anything really.  

But this I know: 

That my Father 

Is working in me, 

To will 

And to work 

For His good pleasure. 

But this I know: 

That He Who testifies 

To these things 

Is coming soon. 

Amen. 

Come, 

Lord Jesus.

That's in the Bible? I've never noticed that before!

It's probably been too long since you've newly discovered a story that speaks to your soul or a verse that pops with truth. But that's about to change!

Refresh Your Faith contains 66 culturally relevant, story-driven devotions, one from each book of the Bible. Each real-life story spotlights an unusual verse or Bible passage that you may have overlooked in your usual Bible reading. Lori Hatcher challenges you with additional features like an uncommon thought to ponder; an unusual faith action step; and an unfamiliar passage suggestion for additional Bible reading.

When the fabulous has become familiar and your quiet times are more like nap times, it's time to step out of spiritual boredom and ignite the spark that will keep you growing. No matter where you are on your faith journey, Lori's conversational and engaging style will challenge you to think about things you've never thought about before.

“Real-life inspiration and candid wit. These 5-minute devotions will change your life.” —Psychologist and best-selling author Dr. Kevin Leman, commenting on Lori Hatcher's devotional style
