God's Attributes

From the devotional, Be Still and Know 

   Infinite God is incomprehensible to finite man. It is impossible to understand all that God is and does. He is God. We are not. His ways and thoughts are higher than our own. We can ponder some of his attributes. 

   God is omniscient. He is the all knowing Creator. God laid the earth's foundation and set the constellations in their places. At the same time, he knows the number of hairs on our heads. Science only discovers what Creator God knew from the beginning. 

   God is omnipresent. He is everywhere. He sees all. We cannot flee from his presence. This is comforting when we feel alone yet sobering when we attempt to run from him. 

   God is omnipotent. He is all powerful. He spoke creation into existence. The sun rises and sets at his command. He is sovereign over life and death. God's power raised Jesus from the dead. 

   As we ponder God's attributes, we are compelled to place our trust in him. He alone is worthy.                                                               Psalm 139:1, 7, 13

NOTES: Readers of THE CAPTAIN & THE HOST, if you missed Friday and Saturday, please scroll back and read those two pages, if nothing else. 

Also, we have changed the headline for Monday, Jesus' visit to Hades. We still include that mysterious event, found only in 1 Peter chapter 3. There is more than one interpretation by Bible scholars. Even if we understand it, Peter doesn't say for certain when this took place.

Tonight, 30,000 cardboard "fans" will watch the Super Bowl, free admission. None will social distance or wear masks or spread the virus, or know who won.
