Bible Verses:

Exodus 34:1-9

2 Timothy 2:13

Isaiah 40:12-23

Job 38-40

Psalm 104

There will always be more to learn about God and our understanding of Him will continue to grow throughout eternity. However, many people have a fictional view of God. People often create their own version of God based on their own beliefs and values, rather than the God revealed in the Bible.

Do you worship the true God or an idol of your own creation? It’s important to seek God deeply and understand His true nature through the Bible.

“What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” - A.W. Tozer

“The heaviest obligation lying upon the Christian Church today is to purify and elevate her concept of God until it is once more worthy of Him - and of her.” - A.W. Tozer

The Key Attributes of God from Exodus 34

Some key attributes of God revealed to us in the Scriptures are mercy, grace, slowness to anger, steadfast love, and faithfulness. Understanding these attributes shapes our relationship with God. God's attributes, such as mercy and grace, are essential for our salvation.

“The Lord passed before him and proclaimed, ‘The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children's children, to the third and the fourth generation.’” - Exodus 34:6-7

The Magnitude of God in Isaiah 40 and Job 38

God is beyond human comprehension and no one can compare to Him. He has immense power and greatness. It is absurd to create idols and seek happiness in material things, as we were made by and for God, not the other way around.

God is in control and humans cannot comprehend the full extent of His power and wisdom. Job's realization of God's greatness led to a deeper understanding of God's role in the world.

Know God as He is revealed in the Bible, rather than create your own version of Him. Spend time in the Word and seek a deeper understanding of God's nature. There is joy and satisfaction that come from knowing God and drawing close to Him.

True worship involves living a life that reflects our understanding of God. I want to encourage you to consider replacing secular influences in your daily life with Christian content. God is not hiding. He desires to be known by us.
