Have you forgotten?

"He cannot deny Himself"

2 Timothy 2:13

Sometimes when I listen to other people pray, or talk about God, I feel like I'm remembering something about Him that I've forgotten.  I tend to think about, and pray to God as "Father," "Abba," and with a vision of Jesus when He was on earth.  Gentle, lamb-holding, child-welcoming, meek as a Lamb being led to slaughter.  But then I'll be reminded somehow of His omniscience; His power; or His sovereignty.  Fortunately, He is always who He is.  My failure to remember an aspect of His character does not negate that aspect.

So I thought I'd remind myself ~ and maybe you ~ of who He is.  Just in case you'd forgotten...

He is the Conqueror

~ "Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, the power and the glory,

the victory and the majesty; 

For all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours;

Yours is the kingdom, O Lord,

And You are exalted as head over all." ~

1 Chronicles 29:11

He is the Giver of every good thing

~ "The lions may grow weak and hungry, 

but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing." ~

Psalm 34:10

There is none before Him

~ "You may know and believe Me and understand that I am He. 

Before Me, no god was formed, nor will there be one after Me." ~

Isaiah 43:10

He is to be Worshipped

~ "God is spirit, and His worshippers must worship Him 

in spirit and in truth." ~

John 4:24

He is Unsearchable

~ "Oh, the depths of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! 

How unsearchable are His judgements and His ways past finding out." ~

Romans 11:33

He is my Sustainer

~ "Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you;

He shall never permit the righteous to be moved." ~

Psalm 55:22

He gives Peace

~ "For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given;

And the government will be upon His shoulder.

And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God

Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." ~

Isaiah 9:6

He is, always has been, and always will be: "I Am"
