by Hallie Gipson

Creator

Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”

Genesis 1:27 “So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.”

Isaiah 40:28 “Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not grow weary; His understanding is unsearchable.”

Compassionate

Nehemiah 9:17 “. . . But you are a God of forgiveness, Gracious and compassionate, Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness; And You did not forsake them.”

Psalm 103:13-14 “As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear Him. For He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust.”

Lamentations 3:22-23 “The Lord’s lovingkindnesses indeed never cease; For his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.”

Counselor

Isaiah 9:6 “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

Cornerstone

Isaiah 28:16 “therefore thus says the Lord God, “Behold, I am the one who has laid as a foundation in Zion, a stone, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone, of a sure foundation.”

Ephesians 2:19, 20 “. . . but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the cornerstone.”

Thank you, Holy Father, that Your word stands alone. It needs no introduction, no explanation, no preface to explain the content. It is a masterpiece all its own and shouts of Your Name from beginning to end! I love You!!
