Week One
THE HOLINESS OF GOD
“ Pursue peace with everyone, and holiness, for without it no one will see the Lord.”
HEBREWS 12:14 NET
A. W. Tozer writes in his book The Knowledge of the Holy, “We know nothing like the divine holiness. It stands apart, unique, unapproachable, incomprehensible and unattainable. The natural man is blind to it. He may fear God’s power and admire His wisdom, but His holiness he cannot even imagine. Only the Spirit of the Holy One can impart to the human spirit the knowledge of the holy.” God is holy. Pastor Chip Ingram says, “He isn’t six or ten or one hundred times more holy than the best person you know. God Himself is an entirely different category in which He is the only member.” God reveals His holiness to us in many ways, as we will see in the Scriptures this week. As we reflect on God’s holiness, how do we respond? Will we take off our shoes? Will we get on our face? Will we make every effort to keep peace? Will we confess or praise? Will we be God’s holy Church?
Week Two
THE ETERNALITY AND UNCHANGEABLENESS OF GOD
“ 28 Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is an eternal God, the Creator of the whole earth. He does not get tired or weary; there is no limit to his wisdom.”
ISAIAH 40:28 NET
This week, we journey into the timeless nature of our Almighty Creator who exists beyond the constraints of time. His character remains steadfast and unwavering throughout eternity. We are reminded that every good and perfect gift originates from God, and His faithfulness endures forever. Jesus Christ, the Alpha and Omega, stands as a constant presence throughout time, unchanged from yesterday to today and into eternity. As we meditate on these foundational truths, our prayers are rooted in the unchanging character of our eternal God. Draw comfort, confidence, and hope from His immutable nature as we lift our hearts to Him in prayer.
Week Three
THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD
“There are many plans in a person’s mind, but it is the counsel of the Lord that will stand. ”
PROVERBS 19:21 NET
Things don’t often go according to the ways that we want them to. Life is full of twists and turns. In times of unexpected changes, our faith in a sovereign God serves as a compass to guide us through uncertainty. We can steadfastly hold onto the Lord’s great plans as it makes a profound impact on directing our lives. He orchestrates our schedules, even with abrupt life redirections. Reflecting reveals His unseen control and thereby strengthens our faith. Trust in God’s sovereignty, despite disruptions, as He shapes your journey.
Week Four
THE POWER OF GOD
“ …the twenty-four elders throw themselves to the ground before the one who sits on the throne and worship the one who lives forever and ever, and they offer their crowns before his throne, saying:
“You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, since you created all things, and because of your will they existed and were created!”
REVELATION 4:10-11 NET
Creation is a profound demonstration of God’s omnipotent power and His ability to create something new out of nothing. The intrinsic nature of creation not only demonstrates the infinite wisdom of the omniscient God, but also demonstrates the authoritative power of His Word, with which the entirety of creation was made. We read throughout the Scriptures about the manifestation of God’s power time after time as He moves to fulfill His plan and purpose for His chosen ones. He is naturally supernatural. His Word reveals that He is above and beyond seasons, circumstances, human realities, and the forces of darkness. His power has no comparison.
Week Five
THE LOVE OF GOD
“And we have come to know and to believe the love that God has in us. God is love, and the one who resides in love resides in God, and God resides in him.”
1 JOHN 4:16 NET
The Beatles famously said, “All you need is love.” The reality is that this statement is truer than most realize, but our understanding of love is limited—it is often dependent and conditional. That is not the love that people need; instead, we need true love. God’s love displayed in Scripture and experienced in our lives goes beyond the love we know and experience on a daily basis. 1 John 4:16 says, “God is love.” Love is who He is; it is His character. He came to this earth to display this perfect love, to show Himself, and to provide an opportunity for all of us to experience what we long for—love. Consider Romans 5:8: “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” “All we need is love,” and the good news is that love is given to us in Jesus Christ.
Week Six
THE GRACE AND MERCY OF GOD
“For by grace you are saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God; it is not from works, so that no one can boast. For we are his creative work, having been created in Christ Jesus for good works that God prepared beforehand so we can do them.”
EPHESIANS 2:8-10 NET
The attributes of our great God are many, but His grace and mercy are perhaps two of His most generous. By His grace, and through His mercy, we have been saved—as He not only offers us salvation but secures it. Grace is a gift, and it is by His mercy that we receive such. The Greek word for grace is χάρις, meaning, “of the merciful kindness by which God, exerting His holy influence upon souls, turns them to Christ.” The Greek word for mercy is ἔλεος, meaning, “kindness or good will towards the miserable and the afflicted, joined with a desire to help them.” In so knowing the Lord, we recognize His kindness in loving us enough to offer Himself generously. May we love Him deeper as we know Him more.
