Written by The Attributes of God
You are the great, the mighty and the awesome God; You keep Your covenant of lovingkindness. (Nehemiah 9:32) To whom can I liken You or count Your equal, O Lord?
To whom can I compare You that You may be alike? (Isaiah 46:5)
Pause to reflect on these affirmations about the person, powers and perfection of God.
The Works of God
An hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear Your voice, O Son of God, and those who hear will live. For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted You to have life in Yourself, and He has given You authority to execute judgment, because You are the Son of Man. (John 5:25–27) We will all stand before Your judgment seat, O Lord. For You have said, “As I live, every knee will bow before Me, and every tongue will confess to God.” So then, each of us will give an account of himself to You. (Romans 14:10–12)
Take a moment to consider the greatness of God’s wonderful works.
My Relationship to God
There is now no condemnation for those who are in You, Christ Jesus, because the law of the Spirit of life in You has set us free from the law of sin and death. (Romans 8:1–2) I did not receive a spirit of slavery again to fear, but I received Your Spirit of adoption by whom I cry, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself testifies with my spirit that I am Your child, O God. (Romans 8:15–16)
Pause to thank God for the relationship that you enjoy with Him in Jesus Christ.
The Character I Want to Cultivate
A talebearer reveals secrets, but the person who is trustworthy conceals a matter. (Proverbs 11:13) These are the things I shall do: speak the truth to others, judge with truth and justice for peace. I shall not plot evil against my neighbor and not love a false oath; for these things You hate, O Lord. (Zechariah 8:16–17)
Take a moment to ask the Lord for the grace to grow in godly character.
My Relationship to Others
You have called us to go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of You, the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything You have commanded us. And surely You are with us always, even to the end of the age. (Matthew 28:19–20) As You, Father, sent Your Son into the world, Your Son also has sent us into the world. And He has prayed for those who will believe in You through our message. (John 17:18, 20)
Pause to review your relationships with others and to commit them to the Lord.
