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…

David Crowder Band – How He Loves Us
#MidnightMadness – 4/2/2017
Do you have a favorite book? If so, tell me what it is and why it’s your favorite.
One of my favorite books is, God’s Smuggler by, Brother Andrew. I love this book because it shows how anyone, even the least likely person, can be used by God to do amazing and extraordinary things. Read it for yourself if you don’t believe me. 😉

Casting Crowns – Broken Together
What do you think about when you look at me
I know we’re not the fairytale you dreamed we’d be
You wore the veil, you walked the aisle, you took my hand
And we dove into a mystery
How I wish we could go back to simpler times
Before all our scars and all our secrets were in the light
Now on this hallowed ground, we’ve drawn the battle lines
Will we make it through the night
It’s going to take much more than promises this time
Only God can change our minds
CHORUS:
Maybe you and I were never meant to be complete
Could we just be broken together
If you can bring your shattered dreams and I’ll bring mine
Could healing still be spoken and save us
The only way we’ll last forever is broken together
How it must have been so lonely by my side
We were building kingdoms and chasing dreams and left love behind
I’m praying God will help our broken hearts align
And we won’t give up the fight
It’s going to take much more than promises this time
Only God can change our minds
CHORUS:
Maybe you and I were never meant to be complete
Could we just be broken together
If you can bring your shattered dreams and I’ll bring mine
Could healing still be spoken and save us
The only way we’ll last forever is broken together [x2]
