My God

My God

My God. Those two simple words are strikingly profound. Meditating on them almost creates a conflict in my mind.

God, Creator, Sustainer of all things. He is almighty and powerful. He is all-knowing and all-wise. He is equally everywhere all the time. He is Alpha and Omega, Beginning and End. He is the Great I AM. He is our environment. In Him we live and breathe and have our being. He is the giver and taker of life. He is sovereignly in control of all things. He is the redeemer of His people. He calls the stars into place each by name. He is love and truth. He is holy and pure. He is righteous and just. There is none like Him, there is no other.

To say "He is my God" takes all those things, and more, that faintly describe the One True God and says He is not just a God, nor that He is the God, nor that He is God, but that He is my God. Personal and intimately known by my finite heart and mind.

Meditate on that simple phrase today -- My God -- and feel your heart swell with the reality of this truth. Hallelujah!!
