Who is God?

Who is God to you? God is so many things. So many facets. Impossible to comprehend and know completely while earthbound. But as we seek Him and begin to truly know Him, I imagine we each relate a little differently to Him. I love that He is my King and my Lord... and that I am a daughter grafted in by my Heavenly Father, my Kinsman-Redeemer! He is a rock. My strength. Adonai, is my refuge and strong tower. To me... He is the Unchanging One. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. A covenant keeper, who has promised to never leave or forsake me. He is my shepherd and my protector. Full of love, grace and mercy. He is my God. And He is glorious and worthy of my praise!
"On God my salvaton and my glory rest; the rock of my strength, my refuge is in God." Psalm 62:7
"The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous runs into it and is safe" Proverbs 18:10
"For God is my stronghold" Psalm 59:9
He is so beautiful to behold! Anyone who has known me for a long time might find it funny (maybe both ~ funny=odd and funny=how ironic) that this is how I view God and relate to Him most intimately. You see I used to be quite the feminist. Very insistent that I was independent and in control. What a relief it was when I stopped trying to play God and surrendered to the Lord of Lord and King of Kings. His created order and plan is so wonderful. My hope is that I will be a faithful servant and handmaiden of the Lord. Who is God? He is my Creator and my Saviour. My beginning and my end. He is my everything.

A kinsman-redeemer, indeed!! The only One who could redeem our sin-sick souls.

We missed you yesterday over At the Well for week 2 of the "God...who are You & what can You do for me?" study. Praying all is well and hoping you are able to continue on with us as we come to know God more.

Blessings to you!!!

By His Grace,
