I would like to explore some of the attributes of God. Yesterday I commented on several Names of God – and there are many more – but it is good to remember the attributes of God.
God is omniscient – He is all knowing. Nothing escapes his knowing. That is mind-boggling for us - he knows everything that ever was, everything that is, and everything that will ever be.
God is omnipotent – He is all powerful. There is nothing he cannot do. He spoke the world into being - and it was! It is comforting when I am struggling with something way out of my ability to manage that He can handle it.
God is omnipresent – He can be (and is) everywhere at the same time. When Jesus was on earth, He was limited to being in one location at a time. He "saw" Nathaniel under the fig tree before he was actually present with him - and did have divine

God is just – He will judge the world with justice – and He judges us as individuals with justice. I know I deserve far less than God has blessed me with, yet I have experienced his discipline - and know that even in those times of correction, God has been just.
God is merciful – and I am incredibly grateful that His justice is tempered by mercy. I have been overwhelmed with His incredible mercy toward me.
God is giving, and loving. In fact He is the plumbline for LOVE. For God so loved the world that He GAVE!
These are just a few of God’s attributes! Just the tip of the
Thank you, JEHOVAH, for sending yourself as a tiny baby so we can approach you through Him and experience the grace and mercy you so freely give!
