God is… Good.

Psalm 34:8 says (NKJV) “Oh taste and see that the Lord is good, blessed is the man who trusts in Him.”  You know, that is a great prayer before some barbeque or a great steak or even a nice, cool, fresh salad on a hot summer day.  Have you ever stopped to think about what the reader is actually saying?  The word “taste” is an invitation to bring the object that you’re tasting close to you, to draw it in to yourself, to savor.  Have you ever savored the Lord?  Savored your reading time or maybe even the time you spend practicing an instrument to better worship Him?  I need to better savor Jesus, to invite Him closer, to investigate every nuance, every aroma, every blessing that gushes forth from Jesus’ kindness and warmth.  He is God, He is good….

May God bless you and keep you, may He make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. May He lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace.

God is …

Power, plain and simple.  His power created the universe, His thought created time and space, His will created you and me.  His mind created thought and intelligence and beauty beyond all compare.  It’s kind of sad sometimes, a scientist or athiest will rush forward with an “amazing discovery that the Bible is WRONG!!”.  Then after a few days, or even weeks, we hear nothing more about this “discovery”.  Why?  Because, science CANNOT prove God wrong, no matter how hard people or organizations try.  God is POWER… the unfathomable power to love you, cradle you, dote on you…oh and make the universe, stars, galaxies while He’s at it ;)   You know, no matter how vast our space gets, He loves you more …

“Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:39
