Do you know who your God is?

Last night my friend Reed talked about the hope we get when we know who our God is. People might think that they know who their God is so what's the point of this topic. So the question I asked myself is; Who exactly is my God? Well I know my God to be all powerful, all knowing, the creator of the universe, my redeemer, my savior, the healer, my refuge, the list can go on and on. I hope you agree with this list but after thinking about all these great characteristics of God another question popped into my head, if I say God is all these things then why do I get bummed or doubt when things aren't going the way I want them to? Two things, either what we say we believe we really don't buy into it 100% or God is a liar and isn't all these great things He claims to be. Now I think we all know which answer is the right one, but I'm not hear to call anyone out when it comes to the area of buying into these great things we say God is. I know things get tough and our faith sometimes gets on the low side, but all I want to do today is remind you to remind yourself about who your God really is. This hope and excitment that my friend was talking about can only be experienced by knowing exactly who God is. The Bible is filled with tons of stories that give us insight about who God really is. After reading and studying about God I can tell you that He's bigger and better then we probably give Him credit for. The God of the Bible, our God, knows, cares, and loves you more then you can imagine. No matter where you are or how far you've walked away from Him, He still loves you. There's nothing that can keep you from God's love. If you want to find out who God is pick up a Bible and start finding out who He is. By doing so you can have a hope,peace, and experience a love that can't be put into words.
So my prayer for us today is that we take the time to find out who our God really is. I pray that by doing so we trade our worries and concerns for the peace and hope that is found in knowing who God is. I pray for faith and strength for us to let God be God.
