Daily Devotions

Here’s my question for today: “How do you view God? What do you suppose He’s like?”
Deuteronomy 7:9 says, “Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;”
Whether you realize it or not, the characteristics you ascribe to the Lord will shape how you respond to him.
For example, if you see Him as your loving, compassionate, wise, and wonderful Heavenly Father who provides for you perfectly, you’ll want to confide in Him and will trust His leadership. But if instead you view Him as a distant, strict, legalistic, and self-serving Commander, you may feel it’s your duty to report to Him, but your relationship to Him won’t be motivated by love.
So I encourage you to seek to truly know God through His Word and ask Him to show you who He really is. If you do so you will find that the One who formed you is more wonderful than you can possibly imagine and completely worthy of all your time, service, honor, glory, adoration, and praise.
Prayer Thought: “Father God, I want to see You as You really are. Reveal Yourself to me and clear away the misconceptions I have of You. Help me love You more every day, amen.”
For today, take time to discover who God really is.
