GOD IS…

Who is this GOD I serve? Who is this King of Glory? He is the Lord Almighty, Omnipotent King, Rock of Ages, Prince of Peace, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Exalted One, Devine Deliverer, Provider, Protector, Ruling Lord, and Reigning King of all the universe. He is the Author of Holiness, the Teacher of Righteousness, the Instigator of Justice and the Instructor of Goodness.  He is the Perfection of Life,  the Father of Wisdom, the Living Water and Bread of Life.  He is the way, the truth and the life, the bright morning star, the Everlasting Father and the Light of Man.

He is my Provider, my Sanctification, my Banner, my Shepard, my Healer, my Peace and my Righteousness. He is Sovereign and Sufficient, Merciful and Mighty, all-powerful and awesome. He is my Father, my Helper, my Guardian, and my God.  He is the Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. He is the Keeper of Creation and the Creator of all He keeps. The Architect of the universe and the Manager of all times. He always was, always is, always will be and never wasn’t, because He is unmovable, unchangeable, undefeatable, &  incorruptible.

His character is flawless, His reputation is spotless, His love is boundless, His word is priceless, His faithfulness is matchless, and His kingdom is endless.  He was bruised and bought healing.  He was pierced and eased pain.  He was persecuted and bought freedom.  He was dead and bought life.  He is risen and brings power.  He reigns and brings peace.  The world can’t understand Him, the armies can’t defeat Him, the devil couldn’t tempt Him, the wicked can’t stand Him, Nero couldn’t crush Him, Hitler couldn’t silence Him, the New Age can’t replace Him, the people couldn’t get enough of Him, and the World can’t ignore Him.  The Pharisees couldn’t confuse Him, the Sadducees couldn’t trap Him, Pilate couldn’t convict Him, Herod couldn’t kill Him, the persecution couldn’t scare Him, the beatings couldn’t shake Him, the grave couldn’t hold Him, Death couldn’t master Him, and the Gates of Hell can’t stand against Him.  He is a friend to the good hearted, a defender of widows, a father to the fatherless, an advocate of the persecuted, a guardian of the innocent, a light for the lost, and a hope for the hopeless. He is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love,  wonderful in counsel and magnificent in wisdom.  He is holy, holy, holy, worthy of the highest praise, the greatest glory, and the utmost honor. He is robed in majesty, armed with strength, dressed in righteousness, and has a crown of Glory like no      other. 

He is light, love, longevity, and Lord.  He is goodness, kindness, gentleness, and God.  He is holy, righteous, mighty, powerful and pure.  His ways are right , His word is eternal, His will is unchanging, and His mind is on me!  He is my redeemer, He is my Savior, He is my guide, He is my peace, He is my joy, He is my comfort, He is my Lord and rules my life.  I was poor but He made me rich.  I was a slave but now free, a sinner but now forgiven, a fool but now wise, dead but now alive, and blind but now I see.  I serve Him because His bond is love, His yoke is easy and His burden is light, and His goal for me is abundant life. He will never leave me, never forsake me, never mislead me, never forget me, never overlook me, never fail me, and never disappoint me.  When I fall, He lifts me up.  When I fail, He forgives, When I am weak, He is strong.  When I am lost, He is the  only way.  When I am afraid, He is my courage, When I am vulnerable, He is my shield, When I am shaken, He is my rock. When I wander, He finds me.  When I stumble, He steadies me.  When I hurt, He heals me.  When I am broken, He mends me.  When I am blind, He leads me.  When I am hungry, He feeds me.  When I face trials, He is with me. When I face persecution, He protects me.  When I face problems, He comforts me.  When I face loss, He provides for me.  When I face death, He carries me home! 

I follow Him because He is the wisdom of the wise, the power of the powerful, the ancient of days, the ruler of rulers, the leader of leaders, the overseer of the overcomes, a consuming fire, and the sovereign Lord of all that was and is and is to become.  He is Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent, Omni-benevolent, everlasting and incomprehensible.  Oh, I wish I could describe Him, but I can’t, because there are no words that can define Him, no poems that can illuminate Him, no rods that can measure Him, no canvas that can portray Him, no thought that can comprehend Him, no minds that can conceive Him, no tongue that can explain Him, and no temples that can hold him.  He is simply everything for everybody, everywhere, every time, and in everyway.  He is God, He is faithful, I am His, and He is mine, because He loves me, He said it, He meant it, I believe it, and that settles it.  And if I forgot anything, well He’s been there and done that.  So who is this God I serve?  Who is this King of Glory?  He’s everything to me! Always was and always will be!
