GOD IS

 

Neh 9:15-17

15 [Thou] gavest them bread from heaven for their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and promisedst them that they should go in to possess the land which thou hadst sworn to give them.

16 But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened their necks, and hearkened not to thy commandments,

17 And refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou didst among them; but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage: but thou art a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsookest them not.

 

          Our relationship which we have with God is firmly fixed in His mind but is greatly affected by our opinion of Him. We have many things which we do not enjoy because our thoughts of Him are wrong.

 

          The phrase, “God is”, can be found in the Bible 158 times and speaks of His mercy and His majesty. Only guilty sinners who have refused His grace need to fear Him. Those who have run to Him for mercy have surely found it. The poor have received aid. The sick have received healing and the sorrowing have received comfort. The ignorant have received wisdom and the lost guidance.

 

Ps 46:1-3

46 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;

3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.

 

Lord, as I meditate upon Your Person, let me not miss even one of Your marvelous attributes. Bless Your people today, Lord. AMEN
