The Attributes of God

CONSIDER THIS

It’s a new year. Who knows what’s around the corner? Not me. Good thing we can turn to the One who does, to mediate on who He is and trust in Him. It’s a great way to prepare for the new year.

As Max Lucado writes: Don’t equate the presence of God with a good mood or a pleasant temperament. God is near whether you’re happy or not. But do quarry from your Bible a list of the deep qualities of God — the attributes of God — and press them to your heart. My list reads like this:

• He is still sovereign
• He still knows my name
• Angels still respond to His call
• God is still faithful
• He is not caught off guard
• He uses everything for His glory and my ultimate good

Lay hold of the unchanging character of God. Pray your pain out. Pound the table. Your family may be gone. Your supporters may have left. But God has not budged! His promise still stands,“I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go.” [from You’ll Get Through This]

We encourage you to watch Sunday’s service, hearing the elders of our church speak on some of the attributes of God, interspersed with worshiping Him for who He is.
