Our God is great
The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life. (Job 33:4)
The idea of God is the center of the spiritual universe. It is the focal point of human thought. It is the answer to the soul’s thirst. It is the universal prayer. It is the greatest idea in the world. It is the keynote to religious progress.
Unfortunately, our God has been depicted in a light that is neither attractive nor designed to constrain us to love him. In Art he is too frequently represented as being seated in a rigid and formal manner upon a straight-backed chair, with eyes gazing into space, with a crown upon his head, with his feet resting upon a globe as if to make him the terrible ruler of the earth.
But we rejoice that in Christ we have a new conception of God, that came through the Revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ; an idea of God that brings together in one family all that dwell upon the face of the earth; an idea that levels all castes and ranks of men; an idea that brings peace and good-will to men; an idea that binds all races and colors together in one common bond of sympathy; an idea that saint and sinner, bond and free, Greek and Barbarian, may accept with all heart and soul.
Our God is great, holy, wise, good, powerful and merciful. He is in the world in its creation, preservation, history and redemption. [1]
Nothing can separate you from God’s love absolutely nothing. God is enough for time, God is enough for eternity. God is enough! - Hannah Whitall Smith
