The Attributes of God

Today I wanted to talk a little bit about who God really is. Have you ever really thought about what God is like? I have spent years compiling a list of the attributes of God. On days when I feel distant from Him, I reach for my list to see the way the Bible defines Him. Somehow knowing what He is like, gives me more confidence in my relationship with Him. The Bible holds the truth about who He is and what He stands for, so that we can gain a better understanding of Him. I would like to share with you the list that I have put together, and I would also like to know if any of you have something to add to the list and where it can be found in the Bible. Here’s my list:

God is….

A consuming fire – Hebrews 12:29
My strong fortress – 2 Samuel 22:33
Spirit – John 4:24
Love – 1 John 4:8
Great – Psalm 147:5
Abundant in strength – Psalm 147:5
Understanding – Psalm 147:5
The first – Isaiah 44:6
The last – Isaiah 44:6
The only God – Isaiah 44:6
The maker of all things – Isaiah 44:24
The head of Christ – 1 Corinthians 11:3
A God of peace – 1 Corinthians 15:33
Light – 1 John 1:5
A Jealous God – Deuteronomy 4:24
A witness between you and me – Genesis 31:50
A compassionate God – Deuteronomy 4:31
The faithful God – Deuteronomy 7:9
Just – 2 Thessalonians 1:6
A warrior – Exodus 15:3
My strength – Exodus 15:2
My song – Exodus 15:2
My salvation – Exodus 15:2
Majestic in holiness – Exodus 15:11
Awesome in praises – Exodus 15:11
Highly exalted – Exodus 15:21
A victorious warrior – Zephaniah 3:17
The shepherd and the guardian of our souls – 1 Peter 2:25

Do any of these attributes speak to your heart more than another? The last two are my favorite… He is a victorious warrior and the shepherd and guardian of my soul. Who could want anything more? Please feel free to add your attributes of God in the comments section and also add the reference for where you found the attribute. I would love to add more to my ever growing list!

I also found this as I was researching…

Good morning to you my blogging friends,

Hope you’re doing well and having a very blessed week. I just wanted to give all of you a quick update. I’ve been feeling a bit overwhelmed in recent days and have come to the conclusion that a much needed break is in order. I’ve been feeling completely exhausted both mentally and physically, and writing doesn’t seem to be helping me at the moment. In fact, it seems to be adding to my already taxed mind.

So with that said, I have decided to at least repost some of my older blog posts for the remainder of this month, and perhaps through the month of May as well. Each one will be selected at random, so it’ll be fun to see what comes up when I hit the “read a random post” button, which is located in the category section at the top of my blog. I may still do my Midnight Madness posts, if something comes to mind.

Hopefully, by next month, I will feel more like myself again. I also want to apologize in advance, because I will be cutting back my blog reading time as well. I try so hard to keep up with all of you, but I follow a few thousand blogs, and so it’s impossible to read everyone’s posts each day. I’ll be thinking about all of you during my time away and I’ll try to reply to comments when I can. Have a very Happy Easter and enjoy the spring weather.

Much love, ~M xoxo
