The Lord God is ...

I thought I would share this revelation message with you about our GOD.

I recently received a mail titled – “God is like…”, in which God is compared to all kinds of brands and slogans etc. They were all quite true, but it didn’t really feel like any of them did justice to what the Bible teaches us… Psalm 29 says we must ascribe what is due to God, and then starts explaining why:

Psalm 29 - A psalm of David.

PS 29:1 Ascribe to the LORD, O mighty ones, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength. 2 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness.
PS 29:3 The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the LORD thunders over the mighty waters. 4 The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is majestic.

Psalm 97 also tells us more about “what God is like”:

PS 97:2 Clouds and thick darkness surround him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne. 3 Fire goes before him and consumes his foes on every side.
PS 97:4 His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles. 5 The mountains melt like wax before the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.

Imagine seeing that happen… Can be quite fearful, but listen to what God says about Himself:

EX 34:6 And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, "The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, 7 maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished;..."

May you know what God is really like this week!

God bless and keep you!

NB!! Please excuse me should you feel that I should not have forwarded this message through to you, but I just could not resist the inclination.
