God

Scripture Read: 1 Timothy 1:17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

Application: How many times Father do we read portions like this in Your Word and just pass them by? Perhaps, if we would slow down and contemplate what they are communicating we would appreciate You that much more.

King: No thing and no person is above You. You are The Sovereign, possessing supreme and ultimate rule and power, over us and everything in the world. You set all the standards and make all the rules in nature and all the universe. Your word is the final authority over all matters!

Eternal – The one that has no beginning or ending. This does not fit into our finite brain, but that makes it no less true. Before there was a universe, You are! After all is gone of this universe we know, You will be! You do not think ten years ahead, not twenty years ahead, You are over time and Your thoughts penetrate past, present and future!

Immortal – All life is in You. You devour death and end it’s threat. The life in You is not only never ending, it is all consuming! When You share Your life with us, it regenerates our being and brings abundant living to all that we do.

Invisible – You are the One there even when no one thinks You are. You are the One working even when it is completely behind the scenes. You are the One that refuses to allow us to walk by sight, because our eyes can deceive us so easily, so You teach us to walk by faith. All that You are and all that You do is very apparent though we do not see You.

The only God – Enough Said!!!

Father we cannot nor will we ever be able to fully explain, comprehend or appreciate You. We can though by choice give You all that we are and learn to love You more everyday! Thank You for never giving up on us and allowing us to know You and the depth of Your love!

Meditation Questions: How often do you think of God in terms of what He does for you? When was the last time you thanked God “just because”? How often after you praise God do you then ask Him for something? How often do you spend time only praising God? Why do so many find this hard to do? Could it be the “flesh” does not like it? Try reading a Psalm of praise back to God.
