My God Is God


Moses wanted to see God, As a matter of fact, he longed to see God.  He pleaded in Exodus 33:18, "please let me see the dazzling light of your presence."  However, God told him that this could not be because no sinful mortal could look upon His face and live.  Anyway, to appease his longing a little, God hid Moses in a cleft of the rock and covered him with His hands as he passed by.  Exodus 34:5-7 revealed that, The Lord came down in a cloud, stood with him there, and pronounced His holy name, the Lord. The Lord then  passed in front of him and called out, "I, the Lord, am a God who is full of compassion and pity, who is not easily angered and who shows great love and faithfulness.  I keep my promise for thousands of generations and forgive evil and sin; but I will not fail to punish children and grandchildren to the third and fourth generation for the sins of their parents."  Therefore, the God of my Bible is, by His own declaration, merciful, gracious, longsuffering, full of goodness and truth.
Being omnipotent, He could be a tyrant.  Being omniscient, He could be intolerant. Being eternal, He could be indifferent to the needs of short-lived creatures on a small and insignificant planet.  But, all His limitless power, wisdom, and knowledge are so blended with infinite goodness, mercy, and truth that He is the one Supreme Being, utterly perfect in all His attributes, and the only Being worthy of universal worship.
I close with David's declaration: "This God is our God for ever and ever: He will be our Guide even unto death." (Psalm 48:14).

Nailing My Sins To His cross

That day when they crucified my Saviour, He was willing to pay all the cost.  When they drove the nails through His body, they were nailing my sins to His cross. Oh the shame of it, my sins crucified Him that day, my sins were to blame.  Forgive me Lord I pray, I will live so the world can know that I love You for nailing my sins to the cross. Although this was centuries ago now, and I was not even living at all, The Bible says Jesus died for all sinners.  This includes me, Oh praise His dear name.  Thank you Jesus!

I Look To You, Dear Lord

You are my hope, the Lord of my life.  I wait on You and move cautiously in my decisions.  I am not ashamed to trust in Your guidance, Lord.  Instead I feel thankful for the trust in You.  I am filled with peace.  Throughout the day my thoughts often turn to You for direction and strength.  In quiet and confidence I find the strength only You can give. You, dear Father, are my Rock and my defender; I shall not fear.  I know I believe, and I am persuaded that You keep me close to You day by day. I look to You.  I doubt not in Your unfailing love for me.  Thank You.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.  Anita Corine Donihue

Laying Crowns At Jesus' Feet

Image
Revelation 3:11, "Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown."It is possible to earn a crown and then to lose it again.  Wouldn't that be a terrible tragedy? May God grant that it will not happen to us.  John 19:5 tells us of a mock coronation when they crowned the Lord Jesus with a cruel crown of thorns.  What a demonstration of the depravity of fallen man.  In Revelation 4:10-11, the elders take their crowns and give them to Jesus saying, "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power."  I want to have crowns to lay at His feet at that time.  O the utter shame of a Christian who does  not have at least one crown to lay at His feet.  He wins the crown for us as we yield to Him.  The crown is rightly His, for He has won.  I desire to be able to lay many crowns at His blessed feet. What about you? Some of the crowns are: Crowns for runners: 1 Corinthians 9:24,25 Crowns for soul winners: 1 Thessalonian
