With all our hearts, soul, and strength
HE IS OMNIPOTENT
HE IS OMNIPOTENT
HE IS OMNIPOTENT—power to do all things
He is Creator
All things were made by Him—John 1:3.
without Him nothing was made that was made
“In the beginning God created …” Gen. 1:1.
There is not one shred of evidence to refute this in all the universe
In fact, if there is one thing that all of the laws of science have firmly established, it is that the unreserved, and life, are not random
there is incredible order in the universe
there is incredible order in DNA
He created all the things we see, and also the things we cannot see with the naked eye—Col. 1:16.
He created every planet and every star
He created every germ and every atom
He created the natural visible energy and matter
He also created the invisible Dark energy and Dark matter
16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.
The Bible acknowledges that there are some things which are invisible
and places beyond this world’s reach - And He is the creator of them.
Creator of the heaven and the earth—Heb. 1:10–12.
10 And:
“You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth,
And the heavens are the work of Your hands.
11 They will perish, but You remain;
And they will all grow old like a garment;
12 Like a cloak You will fold them up,
And they will be changed.
But You are the same,
And Your years will not fail.”
He is the Controller - in the person of Jesus Christ
In Him all things consist (live)—Col. 1:17.
17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.
Not only did He create everything, but He maintains everything
everything that exists only remains by the Word of His power
He’s got the whole world in His hands…
He upholds all things by His Word—Heb. 1:3.
3 who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
Jesus, God in human form, is sat down at the right hand of Majesty on High - in heaven!
The King of Glory has come in! The everlasting doors have opened.
Through His purging of our sins, heaven is open to us
Through His Omnipotence
HE IS OMNIPRESENT
HE IS OMNIPRESENT
—at all places at the same time
His character—John 4:24. God is a spirit, and, since He is a spirit,
He can be at all places at the same time. His presence is everywhere!
becasue He is everywhere, His character is everywhere -
5 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.
His concern—Ps. 46:1. A ready help in time of trouble.
1 God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.
We need no appointment. - He is here right now!
The Bible tells us to cast all our care upon Him, since He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7).
This everywhere God is here, inviting you to cast your care upon HIM. He cares.
His compassion—Matt. 10:29. Not one sparrow (one of the smaller birds) falls to the earth without Him seeing it.
Jesus said we are more important than the birds (Matt. 6:26).
Since man was created in the image of God, he has a soul and can communicate with other men. Animals cannot speak to God.
God does not sleep. He never takes a vacation. He is watching over us at all times.
He is awake and listens to our prayers. - He slumbers not - neither does He sleep.
HE IS OMNISCIENT
HE IS OMNISCIENT
—knows all things
God is eternal—Ps. 90:2.
2 Before the mountains were brought forth,
Or ever You had formed the earth and the world,
Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.
He had no beginning, nor will He have an ending. Because He is eternal, He knows all things.
There is nothing that is hidden from Him
13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.
He knows our sorrows—(Exod. 3:7)
7 And the Lord said: “I have surely seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows.
Not only does He know about our sorrows, He cares.
He understands. He is interested in all our needs, problems, troubles, and sicknesses. He knows each sorrow. He sees each tear. He feels each pain. (Ps. 103:13).
13 As a father pities his children,
So the Lord pities those who fear Him.
He knows our sickness—Heb. 4:15. God created the body, and therefore He can repair it when it becomes weak or ill.
15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.
He knows our sin—John 8:3–11. He knows our sins and says to us, “Go, and sin no more.” We cannot hide our sins from God.
He knows our shortcomings—Ps. 103:14. He knows when we fail and is kind and understanding. He forgives our mistakes.
14 For He knows our frame;
He remembers that we are dust.
God is Good
God is Good
In all of these attributes - God is Good
We can be thankful for this - if He wasn’t no one could make Him change
But we can rejoice, becasue in All His magnificent power, and presence, and knowledge, God is altogether good.
33 Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!
He is Good all the time and He has decided in His Omnipotent Power and Knowledge that all things will work together for your Good - -If you love Him
28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
Be of good cheer - God is for you, not against you.
