God is so indescribable that Biblical writers used the best
words they could find to depict Him in human terms. He is: a soldier (Exodus
15:3), a husband (Jeremiah 31:32), a true friend (Jeremiah
30:17), a savior (Isaiah 45:15), a caring shepherd (Psalm
23:1), a deliverer (Psalm 18:2), our good master (Psalm
123:2), our king (Psalm 10:16), a nurturing father (Psalm
89:26), a righteous judge (James 4:12) and so
much more.
God is high and lifted up. He is larger than life and the
train of His robe is all that will fit in His temple. His voice sounds like a
thunderous waterfall or a loud trumpet; and it sends tremors throughout the
earth (Revelation 14:2; Isaiah 6:1-4). God is exalted over every nation
at the same time that He sits on His glorious throne in heaven. There is no God
like Jehovah; yet, He is concerned with the affairs of our life on this earth (Psalm
113:4-6).
He puts a hunger in our soul for fellowship with Him, so
that we will seek Him, reach out for Him and find Him. He is not far from any
one of us. Once we surrender our will to His, we live, move and have our
existence in Him as His children (Acts 17:27-28). God
even provides for the creatures in nature. They store up His provision, which
they receive from His open hand, and it satisfies them. By His Spirit He renews
the earth and everything in it (Psalm 104:27-30).
No one can escape God’s presence. His influence reaches
from heaven to hell, and from the seas to the mountains. He guides us no matter
where we are dwelling. He turns our darkness into light (Psalm
139:7-12; Amos 9:2-4). Our God has always existed and He is coming back
to the earth in order to rule and reign over mankind. There will be no more
dying, sorrow, stress or depression under His leadership, as there is under the
human leadership we suffer with now (Isaiah 35:10, 51:11).
Prayer:
Father God, You have always existed, and You are coming to
rule in eternity. Even when our mortal body passes away, we will see You in our
immortal body. Our heart yearns for that moment, in which we will see You
face-to-face. We hope that it comes very soon (Job 19:25-27). Even
now in our sin cursed world, You cause us to lie down in peace and You give us
safety (Psalm 4:8). When we face trials and trouble, You are our
stronghold and our refuge. Those who live in Your name and trust in Your
faithfulness will never be forsaken (Deuteronomy 31:6-8).
Thought for the Day:
God keeps His eyes on us - not to harm us, but for our good. - Amos 9:4
