September 15, 2010 God’s Character
Today’s Bible Reading: Ezekiel 38; Ezekiel 39; Psalm 145; Revelation 20 (The Message)
Scripture Focus:
Ezekiel 38:23 I’ll show you how great I am, how holy I am. I’ll make myself known all over the world. Then you’ll realize that I am God.
Ezekiel 39:27 I’ll use them to demonstrate my holiness with all the nations watching.
Psalm 145:8 God is all mercy and grace—
not quick to anger, is rich in love.
9 God is good to one and all;
everything he does is suffused with grace.
13 God always does what he says,
and is gracious in everything he does.
14 God gives a hand to those down on their luck,
gives a fresh start to those ready to quit.
Observation:
These verses demonstrate God’s character, his very nature. God’s nature can be a comfort or a terror, depending on which side of the fence you’re on.
Application:
I am to be like God. He wants me to be holy, just as he is holy. He wants me to be full of mercy and grace, not quick to anger, rich in love. He wants me to be good to one and all, do what I say and be gracious in everything I do. God wants me to give a hand to those down on their luck.
Prayer:
Father God, I cannot fulfill this vision unless you do it through me, so may your Spirit work in me to become like you.
not quick to anger, is rich in love.
everything he does is suffused with grace.
and is gracious in everything he does.
gives a fresh start to those ready to quit.
