Insight on God

I just wanted to share some scriptures that I have collected that give insight on who God is. He is so amazing and we should always take time to bask in that truth.

(Psalms 33:6) By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

(Jeremiah 9:24) “But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.”

(Psalms 147:5) “Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.”

(Psalms 92:15) “To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.”

(Luke 6:35) “But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the thankful and to the evil.”

(Romans 9:15) “For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.”

(2 Chronicles 16:9) “For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.

(Isaiah 40:12) “¶ Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?”

(Deuteronomy 32:39) See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.

(Romans 12:19) “Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.”

(Proverbs 6:16-19) “¶ These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:  {17} A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,  {18} An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,  {19} A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.”

(Psalms 139:1-12) “O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.  {2} Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.  {3} Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.  {4} For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.  {5} Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.  {6} Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.  {7} Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?  {8} If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.  {9} If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;  {10} Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.  {11} If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.  {12} Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.”

Nothing too hard for HIM

(Jeremiah 32:26-27) “¶ Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,  {27} Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?”

(Jeremiah 32:17) “Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:”

(2 Chronicles 14:11) “And Asa cried unto the LORD his God, and said, LORD, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us, O LORD our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O LORD, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee.”

HIS thoughts

(Psalms 92:5) “O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.”

(Psalms 40:5) “Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.”

(Psalms 139:17-18) “How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!  {18} If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.”

(Jeremiah 29:11) “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”

God’s glory

(Isaiah 48:5) “I have even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it came to pass I shewed it thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them.”

(Isaiah 48:11) “For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another.”

(Jeremiah 5:22) “Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?”

Humble thyself

(1 Kings 21:25-29) “¶ But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.  {26} And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all things as did the Amorites, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.  {27} And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.  {28} And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,  {29} Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days: but in his son’s days will I bring the evil upon his house.”
