Who Is The God Who Can Restore Us?

Friday July 7, 2023
 

When we think of God, how do we imagine Him to be? Do we see Him as a judge ready to pass sentence on us when we do wrong, or do we see Him as the ever-loving God who has compassion on us and desires to care for us?

The person who wrote the following Psalm saw God as all powerful and praised Him for His majesty and glory.  He also saw God with armies of angels who serve Him and do His will and, at His command, are ready to minister to those who trust in Him. Only through prayer and meditation on God’s word in the Bible do we begin to see God as He truly is.

Praise the Lord, my soul! O Lord, my God, how great you are! You are clothed with majesty and glory; you cover yourself with light. You have spread out the heavens like a tent and built your home on the waters above. You use the clouds as your chariot and ride on the wings of the wind. You use the winds as your messengers and flashes of lightning as your servants. You have set the earth firmly on its foundations, and it will never be moved. (Psalm 104:1-5 GNT)

The writer of this Psalm describes the movements of God like they are from a sci-fi movie but, the reality is, God moves in ways that are beyond the most incredible things that humans could dream up.  God formed those humans whose finite minds conceive fictional space travel.  When we study the Bible, we will be amazed at how the earth and the heavens, and even people and the environment, react to the presence of God when He chooses to make Himself known.

Often in life and even in recovery we dwell on our past and allow the evil one to bring guilt and shame over what has already been forgiven.  Why not choose to throw off this bondage and focus on getting to know this amazing God to whom we have surrendered our will and our life.  Remember, this all-powerful God is our Heavenly Father who takes great delight in us, His precious children.

Prayer:  Loving God, Thank You for rescuing me from the darkness of my soul and bringing me into the light of Your presence. As I meditate on the Scriptures, help me to see You clothed in Majesty and rejoice that You are the amazing God who loves and cares for me.  Amen
