Names and descriptions of God #2

Let's continue on this morning looking at some of the names and descriptions of God.



Our Father- Isaiah 64:8





But now, O Lord,

You are our Father;

We are the clay, and You our potter;

And all we are the work of Your hand.



Not only is God our Father, He is our heavenly Father!!!



Matthew 6:32



For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.



I don't know about you but having God as my Father is such comfort! Amen?



A Sure Foundation-Isaiah 28:16



Therefore thus says the Lord God:



“Behold, I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation,

A tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation;

Whoever believes will not act hastily.



This is a verse of great importance to understand. If you are a follower of Jesus, you have a sure foundation. The foundation is the most important part of a building. If the foundation is not solid it will all come crashing down. Remember these verses:



Matthew 7:24-27



Build on the Rock

24 “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: 25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

26 “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: 27 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”



Jesus is the chief cornerstone which is the stone where all the others in the foundation build from:



1 Peter 2:6



Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion A chief cornerstone, elect, precious, And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame.”



Thank you Jesus for being our sure foundation!



God Almighty-Genesis 17:1



When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless.



There is NONE more almighty than God. He loves us and gives us the opportunity to love and serve Him. Wow, think on that. Almighty means: having unlimited power; omnipotent, as God.



So today we see from the Word of God... God is our heavenly Father, God is a sure foundation, and God is almighty. That's a pretty awesome God, huh?



See you tomorrow with some more names and descriptions of God!
