You’re Such a Godsend

Whether the world realizes it or not, someone (directly or indirectly) is talking about the Heavenly Father (and His many wonderful attributes). Both the scripture and mankind (throughout the ages) have had a plethora[i] of feelings on the subject of our Divine God. What do you think (about what’s below)?

1.  “A man with God is always in the majority." (George Herbert)

2.  “Depend on God, and keep at it because in the Lord God you have a steady thing.” (Isaiah 26:4 )

3.  "God will either give us what we ask, or what He knows to be better for us." (Henry Ward Beecher)

4.  “Every desirable and beneficial gift comes out of Heaven…There is nothing deceitful in God, nothing two-faced, nothing fickle.” (James 1:17)

5.  "God will mend a broken heart if you give Him all the pieces." (Myrtie Stanton)

6.  “Am I not a God near at hand…and not a God far off? Can anyone hide out in a corner where I can’t see him…Am I not present everywhere, whether seen or unseen.…” (Jeremiah 23:23-24) 

7.  "Nobody seriously believes the universe was made by God without being persuaded that He takes care of His works." (Desiderius Erasmus)

8.      “God made [the] sky and soil, sea and all the fish in it. He always does what He says – He defends the wronged, He feeds the hungry. God frees prisoners – He gives sight to the blind, He lifts up the fallen. God loves good people, protects strangers, takes the side of orphans and widows, but makes short work of the wicked. God is in charge –always….” (Psalm 146:6-10)

9.  “Gods justice and God’s mercy do not quarrel with each other.” (A.W. Tozer)

10.     “Know this: God is [Lord]…He made us; we didn’t make Him. We’re His people; His well-tended sheep… God is [pure] beauty; all generous in love [and loyalty] ....” (Psalm 100:3, 5)[ii]

  

11.     “I tell you whenever a man stands by God, God will stand by him.” (Johannes Kepler)

12.     “Is anyone crying for help? God is listening, ready to rescue you. If your heart is broken, you’ll find God right there; if you’re kicked in the gut, He’ll help you catch your breath.” (Psalm 34:17-18, MSG)

13.       “What comes to our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” (Thomas Kempis)

14.     “When God approves of your life, even your enemies will end up shaking your hand.” (Proverbs 16:7)

15.     “When men cease to wonder, God's secrets remain unrevealed.” (Joseph Hall)

With any association in life, the more quality time you spend with an individual the better you get to know who that person really is.

This logic is the same with your Heavenly Father. By discovering all the ways to connect with Him, you’ll discover what is significant to Him.[iii]  Just when your circumstances appear impossible, God is your lucky charm that changes what you thought you knew. [iv] Always trust the Almighty to help you “make good decisions about yourself.”[v]
