The Attributes of God (2)

Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall, but those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.
Isaiah 40:30-31

The Attributes of God (2)
In Isaiah 40 we see some of the characteristics of the God we are told to "wait" upon. The more we learn of who He is, the more we realize that we can wait on Him in every area of our life. He can be trusted and depended on because of who He is. Isaiah goes on to remind us of more of the attributes of our God!

He is transcendent (vv. 22-24), meaning He is far above everything and everyone else! He exceeds all limits.

He is eternal (vv. 26-28), meaning He always was and always will be and always has been in control.

He is holy (v. 25), meaning He is pure, separate from evil (see 6:1-6).

He is infinite (40:26), meaning He has no limits.

He is omnipresent (v. 27), meaning that He is everywhere.

He is immutable (v. 28), meaning that He is unchanging (see Mal. 3:6).

He is longsuffering (Isa. 40:28), meaning He is a patient God who never tires.

He is faithful (v. 29), meaning He is always trustworthy and dependable.

There are many more attributes of our God, but when we are occupied with who our God is, and what He is like as He is revealed on the pages of Scripture, it renews our strength, helps us see things from His perspective, and gives us spiritual energy to walk by faith and not faint along the way!

Tim Hadley, Sr.
Thou brightness of the glory which eye hath never seen!Thou never hadst beginning, eternal Thou hast been;Thou art the perfect Image of God Invisible,In light which none approacheth, in love which none can tell.

G. W. Frazer

FALSE PROPHETS AND THEIR PROPHECIES-THE FALSE PROPHET

And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.

EVERYONE NEEDS A MIRACLE

Some years ago, I was invited to be the guest speaker at a garden party in an exclusive, highbrow residential area. Because I arrived at the venue quite early, I was made to sit for a while in the house of my host. The house was an exquisite parade of wealth and splendour. I had never seen such brazen display of...More

PRAY UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS

Read:
that when he cried to the Lord, the Lord healed him. This is another testimony of someone who believed in the God that answers prayers. May prayer for someone using this devotional is that as you cry unto God today, He will answer you as He answered Hannah, Jabez and Elijah in Jesus'...More

The bankruptcy that saves

None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him - for the redemption of their souls is costly, and it shall cease for ever.

You were not redeemed with silver or gold from your aimless conduct but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and...More
