All that God is, He has always been. All that He has been and is, He will ever
be. He is every perfect and unchanging
Psalm 102:25-28
Of old you laid the foundation
of the earth,
and the heavens are the work of your hands.
26 They will perish, but you will remain;
they will all wear out like a garment.
You will change them like a robe, and they will pass away,
27 but you are the same, and your years have no end.
28 The children of your servants shall dwell secure;
their offspring shall be established before you.
and the heavens are the work of your hands.
26 They will perish, but you will remain;
they will all wear out like a garment.
You will change them like a robe, and they will pass away,
27 but you are the same, and your years have no end.
28 The children of your servants shall dwell secure;
their offspring shall be established before you.
Do you even know what all that means? When I first read that I
feel like I got stuck in a circular reference in Excel.
In my simple mind. God
is who He says He is. He always has
been, always will be.
He’s peace, grace, love… He’s a Father, a friend
He’s faithful.
I love John 1
It’s simple. Like a regular Joe (John) wrote it. But a really smart regular Joe.
John 1:1-5
In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was in the
beginning with God. 3 All
things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was
made. 4 In
him was life,[a] and the life was the light of men.
5 The light shines in
the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
To
me (remember this is me trying to grasp who God is). God gives us His word that is living and
alive. It speaks to us. God created the
world, and there isn’t a thing that He can’t overcome because even the darkest
thing can overcome Him.
I
am thankful that no matter how flaky I am, that He is who He says He is. He will always be. Which gives me great relief because no matter
how bad I mess something up, I really don’t have that much power.
I
can’t be trusted anyway
