WHAT A LOVELY HOME
Part 8b
“For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods”
(Psalm 96:3).
Who is your master? You have been delivered from the kingdom of darkness that is ruled by the deceiver and the destroyer. You are no longer ruled by that kingdom. You now belong to a new kingdom, the kingdom of our great God. Let Him be your God. May you be reminded again today of the greatness of your God. Acknowledge who He is to you. Praise Him aloud as you read His glorious names and contemplate on each one.
Our God is Lord of lords and Lord of all the earth. He is the Lord of the armies of heaven. He is the Lord of glory. He is Lord of all. He is the Life-Giver. He is our Life. He is the Light. He is the Looser of the prisoners. He is Lovingkindness. He is the Lifter of our heads. He is the Lover of our souls.
Our God is the Mighty God. He is our Maker. He is Merciful. He is clothed with Majesty.
Our Lord God is Omnificent (all-creating). He is Omnipotent (all powerful). He is Omniscient (all-wise and all-knowing). He is Omnipresent (present everywhere). He is Omnibenevolent (all-good and all-loving). He is the Opener of blind eyes.
Our God is our Protector. He is our Provider. He is the Prince of Peace. He is the Pourer forth of His Spirit. He is our Part, our Portion, and our Possession. He is our Praise. He is our Purifier. He is the blessed and only Potentate!
Our God is the Ruler of all rulers. He is our Redeemer, our Reconciler, and the Restorer of our souls. He is the Rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. He is the Raiser up of those who are bowed down. He is the Releaser of the captives. He is the Revealer of truth. He is the Reliever of the fatherless and the widows. He is the Resurrector of the dead. He is our Refuge. He is our Rock—the Rock of our strength, the Rock of our salvation, and the Rock of our refuge. He is our Refiner. He is our Reward, and He is our Righteousness.
Our God is our Savior. He is our Satisfier and our Satiater. He is our Shield. He is our Strengthener. He is our Shepherd. He is our Shelter. He is our Sustainer. He is our Supplier. He is our Shade upon our right hand. He is our Safety. He is our Song. He is our Sufficiency and our Stay. He is the Self-existent One. He is Self-sufficient. He is the Supreme Being of the universe.
Our God is our high Tower of protection. He is our Trainer for war. He is full of Tender mercies. He is Truth.
Our God is called Wonderful and does Wonderful things. He is the only Wise God. His Word is perfect and all His Ways are just. He is the Worthy One.
As we read these wonderful descriptions of God, we realize that they only give us a glimpse of Who He really is. Job 26:14 (HCSB) states: “These are but the fringes of his ways; how faint is the word we hear of Him!” Our greatest joy and pursuit in life should be to know more of Him, but even as we come to know Him increasingly more, we still only fathom the fringes of His glory. We will never fully know Him, but what a privilege to even know the fringes! To even hear the whisper of His voice!
Teach your children these beautiful names of God. Don’t let your children grow up and leave your home without truly knowing the character of God.
PRAYER:
“Great and holy God, I acknowledge today that You are my life. You are my breath. You are my Savior. You are my Sustainer. You are my Strength. You are my Everything. I thank you that I do not need to turn to anyone else. I do not need to go to the world for my counsel, for You are my Counselor. You truly are the God who is Enough. I put my life in Your hands and trust you completely. Amen.”
AFFIRMATION:
“Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise.”
~ Walter Chalmers Smith (1824-1908).
