THOUGHTS: When you meet a person, you grow to know them better as you observe their behavior and manner in their interactions with you and others. After a while you come to know more about their character and abilities. Likewise, you come to know God better over time by reading His Word and through your relationship with Him in your own life. Over the next several weeks we will explore some of what God has revealed to us all about Himself. Scholarly men and women have written large volumes on these topics. God has been described as having Moral Attributes and Natural Attributes. His attributes have also been divided into Powers versus Personalities and His Greatness versus His Goodness.
He is the Self-Existent, Self-Sufficient, All-Wise, All-Powerful God who chooses to have fellowship and relationship with us. He correctly and skillfully balances His Holiness, Righteousness and Perfection with Love, Patience and Forgiveness, and also with Justice and Mercy combined. We find it extremely difficult to comprehend, yet exciting to explore. I invite you to take this journey as we delve into the Nature, Characteristics and Attributes of the One and Eternal Godhead, as we find in the unity of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
PRAYER: Father God, please open the eyes of my heart that I might see You in Your Holiness, Power, Magnificence and Glory. Give me a fresh look that I may see You and learn more of You. Help me to enhance my knowledge of You and my relationship with You. I desire to grower closer relationship with You as I behold in awe of Your Wonder and Majesty. In Jesus’ Name, AMEN!
Pray all is well. Looking forward to learning. Love you guys.
