Who is God and What is He Like?

If someone were to ask you that question, would you have an answer?

It’s a pretty important question, judging by the amount of people on their computers asking it.

According to the search engines, they number in the thousands every single month.

Can you see what an opportunity this is?

As Christians, we can’t keep the knowledge of the Blessed Savior to ourselves.

When an opportunity to share our testimony presents, please tell someone!

Look Heavenwards

Have you ever visited a place that is jaw-dropping in its beauty?

For my husband and me, it was the view from a mountaintop in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.  It took my breath away and it wasn’t from the altitude.

The realization that God created all of that for us is too extraordinary to comprehend sometimes.

This treasured verse from the opening lines of David’s Psalm 19 speaks volumes.

The heavens are telling of the glory of God;
And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands. – Psalm 19:1.  NASB.

Fellow Christian writer, Sandra Boyte, wrote a beautiful poem about this I thought you might enjoy.

 

God Is

by Sandra Boyte
06/13/10

“God is kinda boring!”
I heard the young man say.
And I wondered at our message
Which made him feel that way.
Do our orchestrated lessons
Reveal or conceal His Glory,
Honor, strength, and wisdom,
The wonder of His story?

The Sculptor of deep canyons,
And Painter of the skies,
Maestro of all music,
Composer of lark’s cry…
Conductor of the thunderstorm,
Source and Designer of creation,
Dreamer of the rainbow’s arc,
Architect of every nation!

“God is simply irrelevant!”
I heard the Academic rebuff.
And I marveled at the void
Of a live without hope or trust.
Where love, faith, right and wrong,
Are held as empty conceits,
Ideals can have no anchor
But drown in unbelief.

Oh, Author of all languages,
Instructor of all knowing,
Mathematician, Physicist,
First Gardener of all that’s growing…
From anthropology to zoology,
All that is seen, or felt, or heard,
Atomic to astronomic
Begun with just one word!

“God has been replaced!”
I heard the politician preach.
Supposing that man could control
Things placed outside his reach.
Sinfulness exalted,
Righteousness ridiculed,
God’s laws met with scorn,
His word is over-ruled.

Eternal God and King!
Judge of all mankind!
Great Warrior in battle,
Outside both space and time!
Ruler of all beings,
Of earth and heaven above,
Administrator of justice,
Your name is Truth and Love.

God Is Who He Is,
Beginning and the End,
Alpha and Omega,
Master, Father, Friend.
Mere words can never express
His Grace and Majesty
Whose Presence fills the heavens,
Yet stoops for one like me.
