Bible Verse of The Day – 7-10-19

Psalm 145:17 (NKJV) 17 The Lord is righteous in all His ways, Gracious in all His works.

There is much written in the Word about glorifying God, bringing glory to God, etc. Our lives have but one real purpose; to bring glory and honor to His name throughout the earth.

We are even told that He is a jealous God.

Exodus 34:14 (NKJV) 14 (for you shall worship no other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God),

Now, that might seem OK to us, since we are His children. But someone less familiar with God may look at that and think that God is selfish or self-centered because He wants all of the attention.

Nothing could be further from the truth!

It’s impossible for God to have anything like this (self-centeredness, selfishness, etc.) in Him, since He is holy, pure and just in all of His ways.

There is no darkness in Him.

1 John 1:5 (NKJV)5 This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.

It’s important for us to understand that nothing impure, unholy or unjust comes from God. The opposite is very true, though.

He is the creator of all good things and wants only to show us His love, mercy and compassion.

James 1:17 (NKJV) 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.

The closer we get to Him, and the more we know Him, the better we will understand this.
