“
. . . even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You . . . ” John 17:21 (NASB)
It is important how we view God and what we believe
about God. It is essential that we have right-thinking about God and that we
reserve our highest praise and adoration for Him alone.
As we focus on more of God’s attributes and names, God’s word comes alive as we hear:
- Who Jesus tells us He is
- how the Psalmist describes the Lord
- how the crowds refer to Jesus as He enters Jerusalem before His crucifixion
- what the Apostle John tells us from his eyewitness account and his close relationship with the Lord
- the name Moses calls the Lord after the Lord empowered the Israelites to defeat the Amalekites.
Beginning
Revelation 22:13 “I
am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.”
John 1:1-2 “In
the beginning was the Word, and the Word as with God, and the Word was God. He
was with God in the beginning.”
1 John 1:1 “That which was from the beginning, which we
have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our
hands have touched --- this we proclaim concerning the Word of life.”
Beauty
Psalm 27:4 “One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I
seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to
gaze upon the beauty of the Lord.”
Blessed
John 12:12-13 “The next day the great crowd that had come
for the Feast heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. They took palm
branches and went out to meet him, shouting, “Hosanna!”
“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” Blessed is the King of
Israel!”
Banner
Exodus 17:15 “Moses
built an altar and called it The Lord is my Banner.”
Proverbs 18:10 says: “The name of the Lord is a strong tower; The righteous runs into it and
is safe.”
There is strength attributed to His name and protection. His name
is the place where we can rest in the knowledge that God is who He says He is. Who
do you
say that He is?
Father, Your name alone is great and worthy to be
praised! Thank You for the precious gift of Your word that speaks of who You
are. Amen.
