Two posts in one

With all the prom festivities yesterday I forgot to post our attribute or name of God.  So I'll do two in one day.


Day 4:  God is omnipotent  God has power.  Since God is also infinite, whatever He has must be without limit; therefore, God has limitless power. 


"Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you.  You show love to thousands but bring the punishment for the fathers' sins into the laps of their children after them.  O great and powerful God, whose name is the Lord Almighty.  Then the word of the Lord cam to Jeremiah: I am the Lord, the God of all mankind.  Is anything too hard for me?
Jeremiah 32:17,18,26,27



Day 5: God is good.  The goodness of God is what disposes Him to be kind, benevolent, and full of good will toward all creation.

Do good to your servant according to your word, O Lord.  Teach me knowledge and good judgment, for I believe in your commands.  Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I obey your word.  You are good, and what you do is good; teach me your decrees.  Though the arrogant have smeared me with lies, I keep your precepts with all my heart.  Their hearts are callous and unfeeling, but I delight in your law.  It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees.  The law from your mouth is more precious to me than thousands of pieces of silver and gold.

Psalm 119:65-72
