"What You Think of God"

By: John Langley

Ephesians 1:3-14

When you think of “God,” what are some of the ways you would describe Him? Would you, like some, picture Him as “Father Time”? Do you see Him as cloud, a mist, something indescribable? Do you see Him as someone far away or close by? Moses after talking to God in the burning bush in Genesis 3, after freeing the Israelites by the Hand of the Almighty God whom he served, it says God spoke to him in the tent of meeting as one man speaks to his friend (Exodus 33:11). And even when Moses asked to see God’s glory and God grants Moses’ request, Moses does not see God. He actually gets a word picture from the Almighty, “The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet He does not leave the guilty unpunished:” (Exodus 34:6b-7a). Traditionally we have seized upon the punishment of the guilty and have paid close attention to the times God punished Israel or destroyed a nation because of their wickedness. Today let Ephesians bring you closer to God’s true nature!
