Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God!
Ps 3:7
In Conformed to His Image this week, we’re considering “Who Does God Say I Am?” We’ll basically be reading a list of Bible verses declaring who God says we are. I don’t want to spoil the verses we’ll read in that study, so I thought I’d instead list verses from a recent study of passages that speak of who God is. I’m not talking about verses that describe God (“God is able…” or “God is faithful”) but verses that define Him (“God is love” 1 Jn 4:8). In the process of studying these passages, I ran into many that placed a personal pronoun before the noun that defined God. These verses answer the question “Who Is My God?” They were such a blessing, that I simply wanted to share them with you. If you can say along with David in the passage above that the LORD is “my God,” then these verses belong to you! Enjoy…
“For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome…” Deut 10:17
(He is not limited in any way. There’s a no problem too great for Him to solve or any foe too great for Him to conquer!)
“He is your praise, and He is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome things which your eyes have seen.” Deut 10:21
(Consider what great things He has done for you and give Him the praise of which He is worthy.)
“The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms; He will thrust out the enemy from before you, and will say, ‘Destroy!’” Deut 33:27
“Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is with those who uphold my life.” Ps 54:4
“I will wait for You, O You his Strength; for God is my defense.” Ps 59:9
(If God is on our side, who can stand against us?)
“My flesh and my heart fail; but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” Ps 73:26
(God is our inheritance! What more could we ask for?)
“Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; ‘ For YAH, the LORD, is my strength and song; He also has become my salvation.’” Is 12:2
(If this statement wasn’t true, we would have no hope. We could never save ourselves? Thank you Lord for being our salvation!)
