God Defines Himself
1. God Is
Isa 55:7-9
7 Let the wicked forsake his way,
and the unrighteous man his thoughts:
and let him return unto the LORD,
and he will have mercy upon him;
and to our God,
for he will abundantly pardon.
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways
my ways,
saith the LORD.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways,
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Ps 75:6-7
6 For promotion
cometh neither from the east,
nor from the west,
nor from the south.
7 But God is
the judge:
he putteth down one,
2. and setteth up another.
Man has a thinking problem;
we don’t naturally comprehend the mind of God.
The Bible informs us of who God is.
Let’s see how God defines himself in the Bible.
God Is…
I. The Corrector- Gen 20:2-3
Gen 20:2-3 Abraham
2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife,
She is my sister:
and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
3 But God
came to Abimelech in a dream by night,
and said to him, Behold,
thou art but a dead man,
for the woman which thou hast taken;
for she is a man's wife.
3. II. The Protector- Gen 31:5-7
Gen 31:5-7 Jacob
5 And said unto them,
I see your father's countenance,
that it is not toward me as before;
but the God of my father hath been with me.
6 And ye know
that with all my power
I have served your father.
7 And your father hath deceived me,
and changed my wages ten times;
but God
suffered him not to hurt me.
1Sam 23:14-15 David
14 And David abode in the wilderness in strong holds,
and remained in a mountain in the wilderness of Ziph.
And Saul sought him every day,
but God
delivered him not into his hand.
15 And David saw that Saul
was come out to seek his life:
and David was in the wilderness of Ziph in a wood.
God allowed reassurance through a mistaken
man’s reasoning
4. 1Sam 23:16-17
16 And Jonathan Saul's son arose,
and went to David into the wood,
and strengthened his hand in God.
17 And he said unto him,
Fear not:
for the hand of Saul my father shall not find thee;
and thou shalt be king over Israel,
and I shall be next unto thee;
and that also Saul my father knoweth.
III. The Administrator- 2Chr 20:15
Military strategy is a set of ideas implemented
by military organizations to pursue desired strategic
goals.[1]
Derived from the Greek word strategos, the
term strategy, when it appeared in use during the
18th century,[2]
was seen in its narrow sense as the
"art of the general",[3]
or "'the art of arrangement" of
troops.[4]
Military strategy deals with the planning and
conduct of campaigns, the movement and disposition
of forces, and the deception of the enemy.
2Chr 20:15 Jehoshaphat
15 And he said,
Hearken ye, all Judah,
and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem,
5. and thou king Jehoshaphat,
Thus saith the LORD unto you,
Be not afraid
nor dismayed
by reason of this great multitude;
for the battle is not yours,
but God's.
1Sam 17:47 David
47 And all this assembly shall know that the LORD
saveth not with sword and spear:
for the battle is the LORD'S,
and he will give you into our hands.
IV. The Deliverer- Gen 45:8
Gen 45:8 Joseph
8 So now it was not you that sent me hither,
but God:
and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh,
and lord of all his house,
and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.
Gen 50:20
20 But as for you,
ye thought evil against me;
6. but God
meant it unto good,
to bring to pass,
as it is this day, to save much people alive.
V. The Concealer- Prov 25:2
Prov 25:2
2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing:
but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.
Exod 13:18 Israel
18 But God led the people about,
through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea:
and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the
land of Egypt.
Exod 13:17
17 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the
people go,
that God led them not through the way of the land
of the Philistines,
although that was near;
for God said,
Lest peradventure the people repent
7. when they see war,
and they return to Egypt:
VI. The Rewarder- Heb 11:6
Heb 11:6
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him:
for he that cometh to God must believe that he is,
and that he is a rewarder
of them that diligently seek him.
Gal 6:7-8
7 Be not deceived;
God is not mocked:
for whatsoever a man soweth,
that shall he also reap.
8 For he that soweth to his flesh
shall of the flesh reap corruption;
but he that soweth to the Spirit
shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
When life seems to not add up, have a bowl of ice
cream and trust in the Lord.
Prov 28:25
8. He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he
that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made
fat.
Ps 115:11
Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their
help and their shield.
Prov 3:5-6
5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean
not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways
acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to take Him at His Word
Just to rest upon His promise,
Just to know, "Thus saith the Lord!
