God: May 27, 2014 TODAYS WORD FOR TUESDAY MAY 27, 2014 GOD DEFINITION: The creator and ruler of the universe; the Supreme Being. SCRIPTURE: If I ascend to heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there. Psalm 139:8 KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE: Have you wondered what God is like? You could go out on the street and ask everyone that comes by and you would get every answer imaginable. Most people just do not know God and really have no interest to know what He is like. They form their own conception of what God is like and where He is. But we believe it is possible to know what God is like through His Word, the Bible. We recently were reading a devotional that Dr. Billy Graham had written about God and knowing Him. He wrote that the Bible declares several magnificent things about God. God is a Spirit that is not limited to body. He is not limited to shape; He is not limited to force; He is not limited to boundaries or bonds. He is absolutely immeasurable. He went on to write that most people try to limit in their minds God to certain spheres, and relegate Him to certain categories that are the product of their own speculation. What is your concept of God? We know that there is no limit to God, no limit to His power, no limit to His wisdom, no limit to His love and no limit to His mercy. These are the things we like to think about God. God is also a righteous judge, “He will judge the world in righteousness.” Psalm 96:13. People do not like to include this in their concept of God. In Acts 17:31 Luke tells us, “He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by a Man whom He has appointed.” God has set a day of coming judgment and everyone in the world will be judged for everything he or she has done. We do not like to be held accountable but God does hold us accountable for everything we have done. We don’t like to think of God in this way because it is frightening. As believers we do not have to fear. God loved us enough to send Jesus to die for our sins and Jesus loved us enough to give His life to pay the penalty for our sins. For all those who believe and accept Jesus as their Savior their sins are forgiven and there is no condemnation. All of those who are not saved have great reason to fear God as the “righteous judge.” Men (and women) change, fashions change, conditions and circumstances change, but God never changes and we can know Him as our God and the Lord of our life. LEARNING: Our memory verse for this week is found in Philippians 4:13. I can do all things through Him whom strengthens me. PRAYER: Thank You, Lord, for the assurance that You are with me wherever I am because You are not limited but ever present. Help me, Lord, not to limit You as I so often do. Forgive my finite mind and fill me with Your wisdom, power and mercy so that I will serve You with confidence and boldness. ift.tt/1pxYZxA
