Game - Who is God

[johan777]

Isaiah 54
4 Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.
5 For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.
6 For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God.
7 For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.
8 In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer.

These verses spoke specifically to me when my own husband turned on me when I had two small children and pregnant with my 3rd. I turned to God, stepping out into the unknown, following His promptings. I clung tight to Him, and trusted Him that He would provide for me and my children. In spite of sleeping in doorways on a cold October night, I knew that He was there. He guided us and brought us safely through a Red Sea as it were. As it says in verse 5, my Maker became my Husband. He's all I had. He's all I needed.

Who is God? God is good, God is good all the time (Don Moen)
Titus 3:4 - 7 But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

Thanks everyone for the wonderful responses. From now on, no more replies from me, but I will still bless every post about who God is, with 200 blessings

~ Ephesians 2:6 ~ God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus.

I just find this verse so amazing and inspiring! Right now, even as I sit in front of the computer writing this out, under the blood of the lamb, I am seated in Christ at the right hand of the Father. Wow! That He would do this for us is almost unbelievable to me! But yes, Lord, I believe!

 

[caitlincares]

Revelation 19:6
And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.

God is omnipotent. He is all powerful.

1. Almighty; possessing unlimited power; all powerful. The being that can create worlds must be omnipotent.​

2. Having unlimited power of a particular kind; as omnipotent love.​

 

[nhzname]

~ Romans 8:28 ~ And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

Our God loves us and only wants the best for us. I believe that everything that comes into our lives is filtered through His loving hands, whether bad or good. Sometimes its hard to believe that He has allowed any hurtful situations to come along, but we can be assured that He will turn even the worst things around to our benefit in the end. What a blessing!

John 15:5 -

I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them are granted much fruit, because apart from me, you can do nothing.

This is my favorite verse in the NRSV Bible. It relates to me because last summer I went on a mission trip to the state of Montana. We stayed on an Indian Reservation of the Chippewa-Cree tribe.

In one of our Bible studies one night, I explained to the group that this passage related to us and our ministry to the people.

We, my group and I, were the vines, and we were reaching out to the people of the Chippewa-Cree tribe, who were the branches. Because vines wrap themselves around branches so they can grow better, that is what we did. We, the vines, would wrap ourselves in faith and love around the people of this tribe, the branches, to help them grow in faith and love with Jesus Christ.

Hope that all made sense.

Psalm 106:1 ~ Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.

This is my verse for the day! Praise His name!
God's mercy and loving kindness are never ending toward me. When I stumble, He picks me up. When I'm wayward, He turns me around. When I sin, He forgives me and smothers me with more love.

 

[queenm04]

Ps 89:14
Justice and judgement are the habitation of thy throne: Mercy and Truth shall go before thy face

Ps 85:10 says
Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.


I received His mercy when Christ died on the Cross, and His Word, the Truth is writing a whole new book out of my life – Day by day, I am being fashioned to image Him! Thank You Dear L-rd for Your Lovingkindness!

 

[john14v6]

Jeremiah 32:18-19

Thou shewest lovingkindness unto thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: the Great, the Mighty God, the LORD of hosts, [is] his name,
Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for thine eyes [are] open upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:

God has been a great a mighty counsel for me...and he will continue to be my gracious counselor for the rest of my life. When my path wavers His steady hand is there to guide me or to gather me into His arms again. Since He is the Word (John1:1), He has left me with a glorious letter that serves as a manual as well. Thank you God that you haven't and will never leave to my own devices...Your way are higher than mine...and since my ideas are hardly steadfast and far from true...I'm glad to follow you.

St. John 3:17 " For God hath not sent his son unto the world to condemn but yet that the world through him might be saved"

I think we all could learn alot from this verse if we try our best to live by it daily. God didnt sent us to this earth to condemn all of the people who arent saved but rather to try to win them to God and to tell them bout how much he loves them. I try my best very single day to do just that!

 

[john14v6]

Isaiah 9:6

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

God is wonderful...He loved me, brought me peace, and is, and always wil be, the source of my life...regardless of anything I have done. Thank You Lord for your grace...I'm glad that life isn't fair...if it was I'd be headed for hell.

Matthew 6:31-34

"Therefore do not worry, saying 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."

God will be our provider, when we make Him and His kingdom our priority we don't have to worry about our needs being met, because He will take care of it all.

 

[caitlincares]

John 14:16
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

John 14:26
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

John 15:26
But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

John 16:7
Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.


God is Our Comforter.
The Comforter has come and is available to us.

 

[nhzname]

~ Zephaniah 3:17 ~ The LORD your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing."

This verse amazes me. The Lord God Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth rejoices over me! Me! God Himself finds pleasure in me. WOW! Even more than this though, I picture a loving parent soothing their child with a lullaby and I realize how much He loves me. Suddenly, He doesn't seem to be bigger than life and far away at all. It just makes me fall more in love with Him. Bless His Holy Name!

 

[Kept_Woman]

Psalms 27:13-14
13 I am still confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the LORD
in the land of the living.
14 Wait for the LORD ;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the LORD .

These verses encourage me to trust God, and to wait for Him to open doors in my life that I thought were closed. It encourages because it leads me to believe that God if I'm patient and rest in God's loving arms that he'll take care of everything.

 

[nhzname]

~ Genesis 1:9 ~ And God said, "Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear." And it was so.

These words help me gain even greater confidence in God's Word. The Almighty speaks and things happen. From the building up to the tearing down, we can be assured that His Word is truth and a force of action and power. Praise Him for His Living Word!

"A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, til he send forth judgment unto victory."*Matthew 12:20

Our last pastor gave us this one, and I've written it in the front of my Bible, and my heart. I remember it during the most trying of times, and it is a comfort.

[bible]psalms 56:8[/bible]

This awes me. He saves every tear we've ever cried, or will ever cry...in a bottle! Our tears are precious to Him. They are not wasted or lost. He saves all our griefs because when we are in pain He is. He remembers it all. Isn't that amazing? He understands us when we react to pain in various ways and He is surely ministering to us even when He doesn't appear to be there. He knows us better than we know ourselves. He knows the "us" that we will be even if we are oblivious to it.

I wasn't even aware of this verse until someone posted it. It struck me speechless. What a precious illustration of the Heart of our Abba.
