| Because God Is Creator , Lord , Savior & Deliverer , he is worthy of our trust and praise . We can rejoice and sing , giving thanks and praise . Not only is God the coordinator of natural forces : he is the Lord of creation , an Almighty God . God's plan stands forever and His intentions never change . There is a promise that good and perfect gifts come from the Creator who never changes {James 1:7 } Do you get frustrated by inconsistencies you see in others , or even yourself ? I know I still do but at times I have to remind myself if theres anyone I can trust it's God . He is completely consistent and I have to go to him in counsel for my own frustrations .
Our hope should be in God and his gracious offer to save us if we will trust in him , even in times of crisis . God promises great blessings to his people but many of these blessings require our active participation .Such as two of my favorite verses from Psalms {34:1 & 3 } goes "I will bless the Lord at all times:his praise shall continually be in my mouth," and "O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exhalt his name together"
We can appropriate his blessings when we seek him {34:4 ,10} have humble hearts {34:18} and serve him {34:22}. When we take the first step of obedience in following God, we cannot help discovering that he is good and kind.When I began my Christian life , my knowledge of God was partial and incomplete but as I trust in him daily I've experienced his graciousness. |
