Questions (August 9)

"Am I only a God nearby,"
                                                   declares the Lord,
"and not a God far away?
Can anyone hide in secret places
so that I cannot see him?"
                                                   declares the Lord.
"do I not fill heaven and earth?"
                                                   declares the Lord.
                                 Jeremiah  23:23-24 NIV

Today the Lord asks of Jeremiah some probing questions that lead Jeremiah and us to consider His attributes.  What kind of God do we serve?  How often do you consider God's attributes, His abundant nature?

Do we serve a small god that we have made in our own image?  Do we serve an awesome, perfect, loving, eternal, steadfast, incomparable, wise God who, by His word created all we observe, hold, and are?

Two verses that shed light on God's attributes:

        Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me."
                                 Matthew 28:18 NIV

       For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, niether the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
                                  Romans 8:38-39 NIV

Today, ponder God's amazing attributes.

Do you hide things in your heart that you hope God does not see?

Pray for the Spirit to show you God's amazing attributes.


In Christ,


David P
