Know God intimately

"To be preoccupied with getting theological knowledge as an end in itself, to approach Bible study with no higher a motive than a desire to know all the answers, is the direct route to a state of self-satisfied self deception...

There can be no spiritual health w/o doctrinal knowledge; but it is equally true that there can be no spiritual health with it, if it is sought for the wrong purpose and valued by the wrong standard...

We must seek, in studying God, to be led to God. It was for this purpose that revelation was given, and it is to this use that we must put it."
JI Packer

Lord, make me a man who uses knowledge gained to be intimate with you. This idea reflected in these quotes reminds me of many I cross paths with.
