God Is...

I'm so thankful that we have a God who isn't defined by mere humans.  He isn't a god limited by our finite ideas of what we think He should be like.  He is real.  He is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent.  That is He is ALL powerful, ALL knowing, and PRESENT EVERYWHERE.  HE is the ALPHA and OMEGA - the FIRST and the LAST.  The beginning and the end!  (Revelation 22:13)  He is our Creator God. He created the heavens and the earth.  He created life out of nothingness.  He created man in His glorious image.  All things were created BY Him and FOR Him - everything seen and unseen, powers, principalities, rulers, and authorities - He created all! (Colossians 1:16)

Our God is special.  He alone is God.  There are none like Him. (Isaiah 46:9)    None can claim to do what He has done nor can they prophecy the future for He alone holds the future in His hands!  There aren't enough words to describe His breathtaking power and greatness.  He is Jehovah God - "I am that I am" - The Eternal One, The Unchanging One, The Self-Existing One.  He is Jehovah-jireh, the Great Provider.  He is Jehovah-nissi, Our Banner who makes us victorious over the enemy.  He is Jehovah-shalom, the God of peace. 

No, our God isn't a man-made God whom we pull out of our pockets whenever we need a wish granted.  He isn't our lucky charm.  Instead HE is GLORIOUS and RIGHTEOUS.  He is our Savior, our Friend, and our Redeemer.  He is a God who can be trusted no matter what is going on in our lives.  He is a God whose ways are higher than our ways!  (Isaiah 55:8)  He is not a God to be controlled by mere mortals.  He is infinitely greater than what we could ever imagine. 


He is the Great Physician, the Lamb that was Slain, the Lord of Heaven's Armies.  He is compassionate, forgiving, merciful, and full of grace.  He loves us with a perfect love - a love so great that He sent His one and only Son to die for our sins.  He is patient and kind - offering us infinitely many chances to turn to Him.  He is willing that no one should be lost, but desires all to accept Christ.  If only all would respond.  He is full of goodness, perfect in every way. 

Yes, I am thankful that I have a God who is all of this - and so much more. 

In His Love, Cathy
