Today we
finish our discussion of the attributes of God. Hopefully this exercise has
illuminated the character and nature of God and brought you into a deeper
understanding and closer relationship with Him.
September’s Awakening, Day 1
Veracity.
God speaks the truth, nothing but the truth, and is trustworthy in every
way. He is true and His Word is true, so we can fully trust in Him, put our
hope in Him, and rely on Him in every way.
He
who is the Glory of Israel does not lie or change his mind; for he is not a
human being, that he should change his mind.” 1 Samuel
15:29 NIV
God
did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God
to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be greatly
encouraged. Hebrews 6:18 NIV
in the hope of eternal life, which God,
who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time, Titus 1:2
NIV
I
saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is
called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war. Revelation
19:11 NIV
Persistence.
God’s long-suffering nature and his patience toward His people. We are a
stubborn and stiff-necked lot, and thankfully God waits patiently and works
patiently with us.
But
you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in
love and faithfulness. Psalm 86:15 NIV
Or
do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, forbearance and patience,
not realizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance? Romans 2:4
NIV
What a wonderful God we serve. If
you ever think for a moment that you’re lost and alone and beyond help, turn to
God and remember who He is and what He’s all about. He is your God, your
personal God, your Abba, Father, the One who is always there waiting with open
arms for you.
