Who is God?

Last Sunday’s Our Daily Bread (Feb. 13) was so perfect that I want to republish it here.

“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations.” (Ps. 46:10). 

These words from a song sung long ago at the temple in Jerusalem remind us of one of our main tasks—worshiping our awesome God.

One way to do that is to [think about] His many attributes. Exalt God, for He is faithful, eternal, all-knowing, just, unchangeable, gracious, holy, merciful, longsuffering, impartial, and infinite. Our God is perfect.

Exalt God also by realizing that He is all-powerful, almighty, personal, righteous, unsearchable, wise, triune, accessible, self-existent, glorious, and compassionate.

Another way to worship God is to contemplate His names. Exalt God, for He is Creator. He is Love. He is Redeemer. He is Shepherd. He is Savior, Lord, and Father. He is Judge. He is Comforter. He is Teacher. He is I AM. Our God is the Mighty One.

Dwell on His identity. God is our shield. Our stronghold. Our light. Our strength. Our sustainer. Our rescuer. Our fortress.

[Ponder] God’s attributes. Contemplate His names. Dwell on His identity. Adore Him. Respect Him. Honor Him. Love Him. Exalt Him. Use the rest of your life getting ready to worship our awesome God forever.

O worship the King,  

All glorious above,

And gratefully sing

His power and His love. —Grant

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. —Psalm 150:6

I grew up Catholic, then became a prodigal -- as lost and anyone could be. After finding myself in an impossible situation, I prayed to God for help. That led me on a quest for the truth about God. Unknowingly, I ended up in a Progressive Church -- United Church of Christ. They were very friendly, took my in and they became my church family. Not teaching salvation directly, they indirectly got me to start reading the Bible. Fast forward to the late 90s. The whole world was worried about Y2K. The world was supposedly going to end when the clocks on every computer turned to 2000. Consequently, that got me interested in Bible Prophecy. If this was the end of the world, certainly the Bible, the Word of God, would have answers to my questions. Then, in a catalog, I saw the book, "Left Behind". I was intrigued. I read it. There was a pastor who was left behind after the Rapture of the Christian born-again believers. Huh?! A pastor?! He said he had book knowledge of Jesus. But he didn't know Jesus in his heart. Wise authors put the sinners prayer at the end of that chapter. I though to myself, "Am I going to get left behind?" I didn't know. I wasn't sure. I prayed the prayer. At that moment, I was saved. I had my heavenly passport stamped. My transformation started. The problem was that I was still attending the Progressive church where they did not teach the true way to be saved. It took me 11 years for me to truly listen to God and follow HIM only. I was finally baptized AGAIN in 2006. In 2019, I heard the Holy Spirit prompting me to become a Voice Crying in the Wilderness preparing the way of the Lord. So I started this blog and podcast. Listen/watch my full testimony.
