A conversation with my 15 yr. old daughter, who had just returned from the next door neighbor’s house.

Brianna – “My friend Jenny sure is turning into a teenager.”

Me – “Oh really? Why do you say that?”

Brianna – “Oh, you know… she’s just growing up and acting like the typical kind.”

Me – “Well, you are fifteen yourself… do you think you act like the typical teenager?

Brianna – “Who me? No, not really… what do you think?”

Me – “Oh Absolutely not! Lol….”

Brianna – “What about you mom? Do you see yourself as a fully grown woman?”

Me – “No, not at all… What do you think?”

Brianna – “Oh mom… not in a million years!” As she laughs uncontrollably.

Guess even my children can tell that I refuse to grow up. And she’s taking after me! Lol…. ~M 😉

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…
