My click moment was this: God is all God is, all the time, every time. Let me type it a little slower. God is, all that God is, all the time, every single time. Ahh. Simple right? That's something every Christian knows, right? Well yes, I "knew" that. But there is a huge difference in knowing something, as in brain knowledge, and then knowing something, as in heart knowledge. Once again, I think God choses what time is appropriate and what time we are spiritual mature enough to handle the switch from Brain knowledge to Heart knowledge.
Let me expand on my click a little more so that you actually know what I'm talking about.
Based off of scriptures, God's character is reveled to us in so many aspects. Unfortunately we are only capable to grasp what a mere human can grasp, I believe God is so AWESOME that we will never truly grasp who He is, but we will (as we grow closer to Him) know more and more and more about Him.
So, I know I'm rambling and going in circles, but bear with me. We know that God is: Loving, Sovereign, Powerful, Good, All-Knowing, All-Present, Wise, Immutable, Faithful, Holy, Just, and Merciful. Did you know that God cannot not be Him. He cannot not be only one of those attributes. He can't compartmentalize His character (such as: "Right now I need to be Just, so Loving, you go sit over there until I'm finished")
Because I'm visual, I'll visualize it for us: When God is Loving, He is also concurrently Merciful. When God is Merciful, He is also
concurrently JUST. When He is Just, He is also, concurrently Wise.
Is that not an amazing fact!!
God is all God is, all the time, every time.
Think about a hard time you are going through. Now imagine that same incident and apply all of God's characteristics into the same picture. I did the same thing not 2 nights ago and a huge weight was lifted. God is so amazing, that in every single incident, even the little itty bitty ones, He is being all of Him in them!
WOW!
Our God is so amazing.
God is so good!
(Psalm 18:30 - As for God, His way is perfect).
He is always with us!
(Hebrews 4:13 - And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.)
He is our strength when we can't go further and the times are too hard.
(Phil 4:13 - I can do all things in Christ who strengthens me & 1 Cor 10:13b - And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted He will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. )
Everything He does, is best for He is wise! Even if we don't understand it!
(Daniel 2:20 - Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, For wisdom and might are His.& Isaiah 55:8 - For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways)
So much comfort to me as a human who screws up all the time and is always going through something. Each time God will be there and in each event, I know I am growing closer and closer to My God!
