God

Three things stand out to me today as I reflect on God's attributes and promises:

1.  He chose me and loves me.

Isaiah 43:1a-3, 4a

Rocky Mountain National Park

Do not fear for I have redeemed you;

I have called you by name; you are mine.

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;

And through the rivers they will not overflow you.

When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched,

Nor will the flame burn you.

Since you are precious in my sight.

Since you are honored and I love you.

2.  He is my Rock in times of difficulty.

Deuteronomy 32:4

He is the rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. 

A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he.

2 Samuel 22:2

The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;

my God is my rock in whom I take refuge,

my shield and the horn of my salvation.

Isaiah 26:4

Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord the Lord, is the Rock eternal.

3.  He gives me the strength power through the Holy Spirit when I step out in trust and obedience to Him and it is all for His glory.

1 Peter 4:11

Whoever speaks, let him speak, as it were, the utterances of God:  whoever serves, let him do so as by the strength which God supplies:  so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen

2 Corinthians 12:9

..."My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakiness."...
