So often I have looked at the screen of my computer and wanted to write about God – who He is. I always feel so tongue/finger tied. He is so great and my words so inadequate to write about Him.

So today, I will include a summary of the Attributes of God, written by Dr. William R. Bright, the founder of Campus Crusade for Christ, International:

1.    Because God is personal spirit…I will seek intimate fellowship with Him.

2.    Because God is all-powerful…He can help me with anything.

3.    Because God is ever-present…He is always with me.

4.    Because God knows everything…I will go to Him with all my questions and  concerns.

5.    Because God is sovereign…I will joyfully submit to His will.

6.    Because God is holy…I will devote myself to Him in purity, worship and service.

7.    Because God is absolute truth…I will believe what He says and live accordingly.

8.    Because God is righteous…I will live by His standards.

9.    Because God is just…He will treat me fairly.

10.    Because God is love…He is unconditionally committed to my well being.

11.    Because God is merciful…He forgives me of my sins when I sincerely confess them.

12.    Because God is faithful…I will trust Him to always keep His promises.

13.    Because God never changes…my future is secure and eternal.

Father, deep within our hearts we want to know Who you are.

Some great reminders to focus on and get a proper perspective.

“You who have done great things; O God, who is like You?” Psalm 71:19

There is no God like our God!
We don’t need to help Him out for He is all-powerful.
We don’t need to give Him solutions for He is all-wise.
We don’t need to give Him explanations for He is all-knowing.
We don’t need to wake Him up for He never slumbers or sleeps.
We don’t need to hope that He will show up for He is always present.
We don’t need to try to figure Him out for His ways are beyond finding out.
We don’t need to make Him weapons of warfare for He knows no defeat.
We don’t need to try to get His attention for His ears are open to our cries

Focus…

Not on the winds of opposition, but on the setting of the sail;
Not on the howling of the storm, but on the voice of the Captain;
Not on the darkness of the sea, but on the lighthouse on the shore;
Not on the density of the fog, but on the true north of the compass;
Not on the restlessness of the waves, but on the anchor that holds steady.
