Thought for the day

"None of us can accurately described Holy God, only God Himself, and you receive understanding by faith. And when God reveals Himself to you by faith, you, like the prophets, fall to your knees in reverence of His unlikeness to anyone or anything.

Nothing is like our God and nothing to be compared. That is why the scriptures say to us in 1 Corinthians 2:9-13 "But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. V10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. V11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. V12 ANow we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. V13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man=s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual."



God was not made in your image and likeness, you were made in His image and likeness. If you are going to have a right view of God, it will have to be a faith view. Hebrews 11:1 tells us about this view. Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

If faith is the evidence, then faith alone can provide a right view of God. Every religion in the world has tried to explain God and bring God into subjection to their thinking. It cannot be done. The true test of faith, is your view of God based on God having revealed Himself to you, not once, but often. You and I need more revelation of God, from God.
