What do you think about when you close
your eyes and consider God? What kind of God do you imagine? The Bible gives us
some insight into the nature and person of God. Let’s look at a few of those
aspects.
1. GOD IS QUIET!
1 Kings
19:9-12
9 And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the
word of the LORD came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here,
Elijah?
10 And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for
the children of
11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD.
And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the
mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not
in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the
earthquake:
12 And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire:
and after the fire a still small voice.
2. GOD IS RYTHMIC –
THERE’S ORDER WITH GOD!
Gen 8:22
22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat,
and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
3. GOD IS UNHURRIED!
Gal 4:4-5
4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son,
made of a woman, made under the law, 5 To redeem them that were under the law,
that we might receive the adoption of sons.
John 11:5-6
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
6 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days
still in the same place where he was.
4. GOD IS SIMPLE!
1 Cor
1:27-29
27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the
wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things
which are mighty;
28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath
God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.
Matt
18:3-4
3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become
as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the
same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Matt 11:25
25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord
of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and
prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
Dear Lord, thank you
for being the kind of God you are. Thank you for revealing yourself to children
and to me. AMEN
