God ABC's

God ABCs-One afternoon, both to pass time and to keep my focus on God, I
went through the alphabet, thinking of words to describe God. I thought it
might be fun to write them in this blog.

My "a" word is awesome. I know people throw the word around loosely. This is
awesome or that is awesome. The truth is, though, that the only truly
awesome person or thing is God. I have been a Christian for many years but I
am still in awe that there is  a God.

My "b" word is big. Nothing and nobody is as big as my God. So much bigger
than anything I or any other Christian may have to go through. We don't
see the big picture but He does.

My "c" word is cherish. I cherish God. To me, if you cherish something, you
really value it and are not willing to part with it. I am not willing to
part with my relationship with God for anybody or anything, not even life itself.

My "d" word is divine. When I see the word divine, I always think of
pertaining to God. Like divine healing is healing from God. (I have healing
on the brain ). I can't help thinking that there is nothing more divine than
God Himself!

My "e" word is excellent. Everything that God does is excellent. The very
best. I don't know how God intends to get me out of the predicament that I am
at present but I do know that it will be most excellent. And, no doubt,
bring glory to Himself.

My "f" word is friend. God is my best friend. Due to circumstances and my
communication difficulty, I don't have a huge amount of human friends
(though I do have a few really good ones). However, I do have a friend who
will always stick with me. Even during times I would rather not stick with
myself! And I can communicate with Him without the speech board!

My "g" word is good. You know, God with an extra "o". Whenever I think of
God, I always think of good. Just plain good. My circumstances may not be
the best right now but that doesn't change how good God is. I know that He
is working things out for my good even though right now I sure don't see
it.

My "h" word is holy. Yes, he is best friend but He is also a holy God.
Worthy of all honor and reverence. I am always amazed that such a holy,
perfect God, through Jesus and the Holy Spirit, would want to have
fellowship with a flawed, less-than-perfect people. But He does.

My "I" word is immortal. People here on earth pass away sooner or later,
but not so with God. He is the same God forever and ever. That is
mind-boggling!

My "j" word is joy. Joy, not happiness. Happiness depends on what is going
on but joy is a gift from God. It is there whether or not we feel happy.
Even in times of tears, the joy is still there because we know we are in the
Lord and He is in us.

My "k" word is king. A king is a supreme ruler. What he says, goes. In the
same way, God is my King of my life. Chances are, He is not going to explain
why He wants me to do, or not do, something. My job is simply to obey
without question.

My "l" word is lord. Not only is He my King, He is my Lord. A lord is a
master. God is my Master. Having once been a teacher, I kind of relate it to
the relationship that a teacher has with her or his students. The teacher tells the students
what to do because she/he knows what is best for them. In the same way, God
tells us what to do because he knows what is best for us.

My "m" word is mighty. No one or nothing is mightier than God. The Bible says
that He can do anything. So He must have the might required for any task. It
is comforting to me to know that, no matter, what befalls me, His might far
surpasses my difficulty.

My "n" word nature. Everything in nature makes me think of God. To be
honest, being out in nature usually makes me think that this really must
have been a beautiful world before God made people to mess it up! Still,
everything about nature is amazing and could only have been made by an
amazing God. All the beauty, the variety of animals with their marvellous
instincts, etc.

My "o" word is omniscient. The all-knowing God. I always think that there is no point trying to hide anything, especially my thoughts, from God. He knows them anyway. At times, that can be rather disconcerting.

My "p" word is peace. The God kind of peace is not like the peace of the world. It is a deep down knowing that all is well because God is in control of my life. There are times, when my emotions are running haywire, that I lose my peace, but it always comes back.

My "r" word is righteous. God is righteous. Everything He does is right. And He has made me righteous. Put me in right standing with Himself. I like that.

My "s" word is supreme. My God is supreme, higher than everyone and everything. Just thinking about that makes me start to worship God.

My "t" word is trust. God can be trusted to do what He says. We find out what He says by reading the Bible. God is not like many people who say they will do something but than change their mind.  God's word is final. Since being diagnosed with cancer, just about every day I pray that God will help me to trust Him the way I need to trust Him right now.

My "u" word is unique. God is unique. There is nobody like Him. That makes me happy. I mean, how much trust would you have in somebody who claims to be a god but who is like other people?

My "v" word is victory. Because of all God has done for us, in the end we win. Read the last book of the Bible. Sure, right now we may have problems, some of them severe, but IF we don't give up, one day we will be in Heaven with God where there are no problems.

My "w" word is worship. God is worthy of all praise and worship. Think of it. All He has done, and is still doing for us, and all He wants is our praise and worship. Can't we do that much for Him?

My "y" word is Yahweh. That is Hebrew for God. To me, the word Yahweh just sounds impressive and majestic. Like my God is.

My "z" word is zenith. The zenith of something is the peak or very top. God is the zenith of perfection. There is nobody, absolutely nobody, above my God. And He is the zenith of my life. Nothing in my life, good or bad can top Him.

Notice there are no words for "q" or "x". I couldn't think of any. For most letters, there are several words I could have used. However, the intent of this blog is to share an example of the mind games I play to keep myself focused on God.
