Attributes of God

So I start reading the book The Attributes of God by A.W Tozer so the first thing I do is list the first thing that comes to my mind when I think of the attributes of God. They were grace, mercy, omnipresence, and holy. Then I open the book and in traditional fashion Tozer blows me away first chapter Infinitude, and if that is not enough chapter 2 Immensity.

Have you every thought long and hard about the infinity of God. We all try to but boundaries on God because we are unable to grasp his awesomeness. However try this Tozer uses an illustration of C. S. Lewis he says if you could think of a sheet of paper infinitely extended in all directions, and if you took a pencil and made a line one inch long on it, that would be time. When you started to push the pencil it was the beginning of time and when you lifted it off the end of time. And all around, infinitely extended in all directions, is God. How small does that make us but more important is how big God is. God isn't out there in space He is holding space in his hand making it work.

What a picture, it gives me a new understanding of Gods awesomeness and what a gift it is to be called a child of God.

taken it easy

I thought I would take it easy this summer take some vacation, work 40hrs a week, family time, read a little, and just chill. that was the thought on May 15th On June 2 I find myself reading The Attributes of God by A.W. Tozer, getting ready for a bible study Stepping Up by Beth Moore, also reading So Long Insecurity by Beth Moore, tearing out a driveway and garage floor only to repour it, finishing a bathroom remodel, leveling and reseeding my front lawn, planting more bushes and flowers, and working 40 hours. So much for chillin

Moms

What a blessing, privilege, and a great calling it is to be a Mom. Not only do you get to birth this child you get to mold their character. Even though this is a very scary task you have been called by a higher power for this job. You have the privilege to experience first hand how God molds each of us into the person he wants us to be however there is one big difference God is perfect we are not. You will make mistakes you may have regrets however find comfort in the fact that God completes the task. He makes no mistakes and has no regrets. As you embark on this calling know that you are not alone and God in His infinite wisdom has given you instructions you can find these in a book He wrote called the Bible. Read it talk to Him ask for wisdom, strength, and endurance it will take all these. But most importantly don't stress out enjoy really all you have to do is guide them and show them Christ's love. Have a great day and know that you are loved

Words of encouragement

Music is an encouragement in my life God has gifted many of my friends with the ability to put words to music that inspire cause people to reflect on their relationship with Christ and encourage them to continue the race. Recently I have run across the group Sidewalk Prophets and the words to their song The Words I would Say have encouraged me and I would like to pass them on to encourage you today,

"Be strong in the Lord and,
Never give up hope,
You're going to do great things,
I already know,
God's got His hand on you so,
Don't live life in fear,
Forgive and forget,
But don't forget why you're here,
Take your time and pray,"

Remember these today as you go through your busy days.
These are the words I would say,

There is hope

HE is RISEN JESUS CHRIST is ALIVE. He Died a horrific death the cost of all my sins a price that I could not pay, and rose again conquering death so I would be free. Jesus Christ made a way for me to have eternal life with him in heaven. This is a time to celebrate.

Although there are many religions who worship many things Christianity is the only one I know of where you can have the assurance of life eternally. God is not just a figure. He is alive and rules over all and is standing with open arms to all that will except Him. He wants to have a personal relationship with you. You are able to talk directly with him you do not need someone to do it for you. He does not have office hours He is available 24/7. He knows when you are hurting and He wants to comfort you, when you are confused He will provide wisdom, when you are anxious He will give you peace. He cares and loves you no matter what you have done or where you come from. He is never to busy. God knows who you are He wants you to know who He is.

Take time to evaluate you life does your walk match your talk or is it just a check mark on your list of things to do.

Good Friday

What a humbling experience Christ horrifying death on the cross. His words "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." John 23:34 "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit" John 23:46. Those were his last words before he died. Even to the end Christ love for us was demonstrated by his plea for our forgiveness and his ultimate submission to the Fathers plan. If this was the end of the story our hope would have been for nothing. But this isn't the end only the beginning.
