Wednesday Worship ~ Attributes of God ~ God Is Omniscient!

You are all knowing. You know the good. You know the bad. You are all knowing. You even know the decisions you are going to make before you make them. My question lies in the idea that all you know and all you are is good. How then did evil get into the world if you are not evil? If you created everything, then why did you create evil? Isn’t it against your nature? I confess that I am so small brained compared to you. You know everything. But this is where I get really messed up. I hope some day soon I will be able to understand this question. I do not know everything, you do. So you can answer that question some day. I am sorry for this twisted thought. I know Satan uses it in my mind. Forgive my doubt. I know you are true. I know you are here. I can feel your prescience and know your works in my life and others. I know based on the prophets and the testimony of Jesus by the apostles. I know all is true. I see dimly through the glass and want so badly to bring it all into focus. The type-A personality that you have given me wants the hardest questions answered now. I long for that day when your perfect work in me will be completed in you.

O LORD, you have searched me and known me! You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O LORD, you know it altogether. – Psalm 139: 1-4

Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways! “For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?” – Romans 11:33-34

Grace be with all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with love incorruptible. (Eph. 6:24)
Maranatha! (Come, Lord Jesus!)

Wednesday Worship ~ Attributes of God ~ Sovereign

NailFor want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the message was lost.
For want of a message the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.

God is Lord of lords, King of kings. He is above all and is supreme! His sovereignty gives me peace knowing everything is in control. He is the authority. He is the author. God has created all things and is the owner of all things. He has rights to everything he has created which means he can do anything he pleases. God is God BECAUSE he is sovereign.

God doesn’t have to worry about a horseshoe nail messing up his plans. There is nothing that can impede the sovereign will of God! Nothing!

The LORD has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all. – Psalm 103:19

The LORD of hosts has sworn, “As I have planned, so it shall be, and as I have purposed, so it shall stand.” – Isaiah 14:24

Grace be with all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with love incorruptible. (Eph. 6:24)
Maranatha! (Come, Lord Jesus!)

Attributes of God ~ Holy

Holy holy holy is The Lord God Almighty! You are set apart from everything and all of us. There is none like you in all of creation! Perfect perfect perfect! I am so glad that you are perfect as I am so imperfect. Guide my steps today. I want your steps and not my own. I want your perfection and not my own. Nothing I can do without you working in my life. There is nothing perfect in my life but you. I strive for perfection, but miss the mark by millions and millions of miles compared to you. Thank you for your holiness!

Maranatha! (Come, Lord Jesus!)

Attributes of God ~ God is Patient

God is patient! What an attribute, and to think, I am called to share in it. I am called to have the kind of patience my Lord has. It seems impossible. We are finite. Time is not on our side. God, you wait patiently for all people you want to come to you. When will there be enough for you? When will you come and bring your Day on those who knew better and know better? Father, bring your kingdom! Don’t delay! Please! This lukewarm church that you will leave behind will be won for you. They will fight for your Truth! Or will they? Will their hearts be hardened and full of pride? Will they commit suicide because of the shame of being left? I am so in love with you and I am still selfish. I want you now, even before your appointed time. Forgive me Father for my impatience. Forgive me for placing myself above those who are still at this moment coming to you. Give me your patience. Give me your endurance. Help me every day to reach out to the lost. Come, Lord Jesus, Come!

But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life. – 1 Timothy 1:16

The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. – 2 Peter 3:9

But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness. – Psalm 86:15

Attributes of God: He is Omnipotent

God Is Omnipotent (He has infinite and unlimited power.)

Lord, I confess that I do not completely understand this one. How is it that you can do anything but that you cannot do anything that conflicts with your own character? Maybe the idea is that you could but that you never would. You are all powerful. Thank you for being such a huge God; the God of my puny life. I give you my life today that you may do your work and have your purpose done in my life. I ask that I would not drive my own purpose but that I would yield moment by moment to you.

Ah, Lord GOD! It is you who have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm! Nothing is too hard for you. – Jeremiah 32:17

I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted. – Job 42:2
