A reverent awe and fear of the Lord brings one
close to the throne room and the very presence of God.

Awakening, Day 26
Immensity.
God is not measurable in any way, limitless, with no bounds. He is
nonspatial, being present at every point in space, but He is not part of space
or limited to it. He transcends all space and time.
one
God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. Ephesians
4:6 NIV
Self-existence
(Aseity). God exists in and of Himself, independent of anything else. He is
an uncaused Being, He has no cause, He simply exists and is.
For
from him and through him and for him are all things. Romans
11:36a NIV
In
bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom
and through whom everything exists, should make the pioneer of their salvation
perfect through what he suffered. Hebrews 2:10 NIV
Perfection.
God is the epitome of absolute perfection in every way. He is an infinitely
perfect Being. His perfection also means that every attribute is not only
perfect, but each is in perfect balance and harmony, such that one attribute is
not superior or more manifest than any other attribute. He is perfection and
perfection in harmonious balance.
He
is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God
who does no wrong, upright and just is he. Deuteronomy 32:4 NIV
“As
for God, his way is perfect: The Lord’s word is flawless; he shields all who
take refuge in him. 2 Samuel 22:31 NIV
Be
perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect. Matthew
5:48 NIV
Solitary.
God is solitary, unique, and stands alone in all His excellence. Nothing
can compare to God and nothing ever will. He is a solitary, one-of-a-kind
Being.
Who
among the gods is like you, Lord? Who is like you—majestic in holiness, awesome
in glory, working wonders? Exodus 15:11 NIV
Tomorrow we will finish the
attributes of God as He pertains to time and space.
