His Character
Hope all is well with you as you read this message. If not, there is a great and mighty God and Father that knows all that we are going through and He Loves us more than I can put in words. I have been reading a book by Joy Dawson: Forever Ruined for the Ordinary. I would like to share a few things from it. In Chapter 2 Conditions for hearing God’s voice she writes about faith is one of the conditions of hearing His Voice. “By far the most important basis for our faith is the character of God.” Here are just a few characteristics of the One we believe in:
“As a God of the knowledge of all that is knowable, He has the answers;
As a God of limitless power; He has the ability to communicate in every language.
As a God of infinite wisdom, He knows how and when to communicate.
As a God of total justice, He will only tell us to do what is right and just;
As a God of absolute righteousness, He will never tell us to do anything unholy of inconsistent with His character or the principles in His Word, the Bible
As a God of unfathomable love, He longs to communicate with us.”
Just take a few minutes and think about Him and apply His character to your situation. If it is sickness He is the Healer, if loneliness He is the Comforter, If lack He is the Provider. May we know Him, and be changed so we can change the world around us.
