Important Points as We Discuss God's Attributes As we go through the different attributes of God, there are a few things are important we are keeping in mind. On this earth, we will not fully comprehend God, but as we spend more time with God, our appreciation will grow. We need to accept the biblical truths about who God is in faith and not try to manipulate who God is to fit our ability to understand . We will not solely look at one of God's attributes in isolation because all of God's character works together in perfection. God is Love God's love doesn't depend on whether we had a good day or a bad day, whether we succeeded or failed, or whether we feel worthy of being loved. God loves because God is love! Read More God is Gracious Grace is undeserved favor, blessing or kindness. In human terms, we can see people extend grace or we can show grace to others. However, the word grace in relationship to God’s character takes on a much more powerful meaning. Grace is God choosing to bless us rather than curse us as our sin deserves. Read More God is Immutable We live in a world where almost everything seems to change. People change. Culture changes. Our plans change. Even our own thoughts, feelings, and priorities can change from one day to the next. But God does not change. His character does not change. His plans do not change. His truth does not change. Read More God is Eternal The eternality of God means God is without a beginning or an end. It is challenging for us to wrap our minds around the idea of something without a beginning, but we know that God has always been and will always be. Read More God is Holy The word holy means “to be set apart.” When applied to God, it means He is completely distinct from all creation. This takes us back to what we discussed last week when God told Moses to tell the Israelites, “I AM WHO I AM.” God is unlike anyone or anything else. Read More God is All-Powerful God rules over all things with absolute authority, complete power, and total independence. He is not only all-powerful; He has the authority and freedom to exercise His power according to His will. Read More God is All-Powerful God rules over all things with absolute authority, complete power, and total independence. He is not only all-powerful; He has the authority and freedom to exercise His power according to His will. Read More God is All-Knowing God knows everything about everyone and everything—including the past, present, and future. That may sound like a simple truth, but consider how important it is and how difficult it is for us to comprehend. Read More God is Sovereign God has absolute power and authority over all of His creation. He has the right and ability to accomplish whatever He chooses, and nothing can prevent or ultimately thwart His plans and purposes. Read More

Earthly Eyes or Heavenly Vision? God's Greatness is Unfathomable Most of us would agree that God’s ways are higher than ours. Do you agree? We need to be continually reflecting on the greatness of God to draw us to the point of impacting how we think, how we make decisions, and how we respond to the circumstances of everyday life? Read More Importance of Knowing God The weekly reflections on this site will focus on the character, attributes, and greatness of God. But why is it so important that we continually remind ourselves of who God is? Isn't meditating on the same topic get routine or mundane? Read More Earthly Eyes or Heavenly Vision How we see the world matters. Our perspective influences what we think, the decisions we make, and how we respond to the circumstances of everyday life. Earthly eyes start with us. Heavenly vision starts with God. Read More God is Unfathomable " For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." -- Isaiah 55:8,9 We often approach life assuming that our understanding of a situation is enough to determine what is best. We make plans, establish expectations, and sometimes struggle when things don't unfold the way we believe they should. We may even question God's goodness, wisdom, or direction when His ways don't make sense to us. But how can we expect to fully understand the plans and purposes of an infinite God when we see only a small part of what He sees? God is not simply a wiser or more knowledgeable version of us. He is infinitely greater than we can comprehend. His wisdom, knowledge, power, love, and purposes are beyond our ability to fully understand. Recognizing this should humble us, draw us closer to Him, and strengthen our desire to trust Him. The more we reflect on the greatness of God, the more we will see how limited our own understanding is—and how much we need to depend on Him. Read the Reflections Unfathomable Importance of Knowing God "What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us." ― A.W. Tozer (The Knowledge of the Holy) The weekly reflections on this site will focus on the character, attributes, and greatness of God. But why is it so important that we continually remind ourselves of who God is? We can accumulate a tremendous amount of knowledge about God without allowing that knowledge to change how we see the world or live our lives. We can know the right answers, understand biblical truths, and recognize God's attributes without allowing those truths to shape our everyday thinking. There is a difference between knowing about God and truly knowing God. As we grow in our knowledge of Him, that knowledge should do more than fill our minds with information. It should change our perspective, strengthen our faith, deepen our relationship with Him, and lead us to trust His ways—even when we don't understand them. The goal isn't simply to learn more about God. It is to know Him more deeply, trust Him more completely, and allow that relationship to transform us as stated in 2 Corinthians 3:18 - "And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another ". Read the Reflections Importance HeavenlyVision Earthly Eyes or Heavenly Vision? When we look at life through earthly eyes, we tend to begin with our circumstances, our expectations, our desires, and what we believe should happen. We may even find ourselves asking, "How does God fit into what I want or what I think should happen?" Heavenly vision turns that perspective around. It starts with who God is—His character, His greatness, His purposes, and His ways. Instead of measuring God by what we can understand, we begin to look at our circumstances in light of who He is. The focus throughout this site is to continually bring us back to this important question: Are we seeing life through an earthly perspective, or are we learning to see it through a heavenly one? Changing our perspective begins by changing where we start. Rather than allowing our circumstances to shape our view of God, we need to continually reset our thoughts on the greatness of God and allow who He is to shape how we view our circumstances. Read the Reflections About Us The purpose of this site is to encourage us to look at life through a different lens—one that begins with God rather than ourselves. We often approach life through what we call earthly eyes. We start with our circumstances, our expectations, our desires, and what we believe should happen. We then try to understand where God fits into our plans and how He might help us achieve what we think is best. But what if we started somewhere else? Heavenly vision starts with God. It begins with who He is—His character, His greatness, His wisdom, His purposes, and His ways. Rather than measuring God by what we can understand, we learn to view our circumstances in light of who He is. This site is intended to be a place where we can continually remind ourselves of that distinction. Through weekly reflections centered on the attributes and character of God, Scripture, and other resources, we hope to grow in our understanding of who God is and how that knowledge should shape the way we think, make decisions, and respond to everyday life. This is not about us trying hard to change our perspective. It is about allowing a greater understanding and knowledge of God to transform our perspectives that will also transform our lives.
