Characteristics of God from Psalms
Thank God, I've stayed true to reading a psalm a day. Reminder that although it is a "corporate project", it is just a significant act that we
put God first everyday. First moments in the morning goes to the time spent with God and rightly so. I'm glad to say, my spirit is so much more joyful and assured every morning as I go to school. I find myself enjoying everything I do and I thank God for that.
Through Psalms, there is so many characteristics of God that we can find. What I remember the most are:
Psalm 5:11 - Protector 11 But let all who take refuge in you be glad;
let them ever sing for joy.
Spread your
protection over them,
that those who love your name may rejoice in you.
Psalm 6:4 - Loving 4 Turn, O LORD, and deliver me;
save me because of your
unfailing love.Psalm 11:7 - Righteous7 For the LORD is
righteous,
he loves justice;
upright men will see his face.
Psalm 23:1 - Shepherd 1 The LORD is my
shepherd, I shall not be in want.
Psalm 28:1 - God is our Rock1 To you I call,
O LORD my Rock;
do not turn a deaf ear to me.
For if you remain silent,
I will be like those who have gone down to the pit.
Psalm 40:5 - Miracle Worker 5 Many, O LORD my God,
are the
wonders you have done.
The things you planned for us
no one can recount to you;
were I to speak and tell of them,
they would be too many to declare.
As you read Psalms daily, do make it a point to read with a heart that wants to know God more and more, including His characteristics. I am sure many more characteristics of God will surface as we read psalms with an
attentive and willing spirit, let the Holy Spirit reveal more to you! Bless you!
