High and Lifted Up
Isaiah 6:1,2,3,4,5 There are many ideas of who God is such as a God of reward or a God among gods. How do I see God? Do I see Him high and lifted up, in an exalted state?
Isaiah 40:13 He is sovereign, with supreme power and authority. He does not answer to any higher power.
Psalm 150:1,2,3 This is about Him. Not about me or what He does for me. Praise Him everywhere for what He does and who He is.
How do I see myself in comparison to God? Aware of my dependence? There’s no comparison. He is far above me.
Do I see him as Creator of all things? What do I see when I look at His creation? He loves to provide. He likes variety. He has a sense of humor. Creation can help inspire my faith. Nothing is impossible with God.
Revelation 4:11
Luke 1:37 The context of this well-known scripture is that the angel was talking to Mary about the birth of Jesus.
Do I still see God as almighty and powerful?
Matthew 17:20 If something seems impossible with my own understanding, there is more power available than I can comprehend.
How do I see Him? Am I serving Him? Do I see him as all-knowing and always present? Do I see Him as I once did? Do I see him as loving and concerned about souls, including mine? Nothing is hidden from God, good or bad.
Do I see God as a superhero standing in the shadows and just waiting to rescue me when I am in need? He wants more – to have a relationship.
Psalm 139:7,8 Even if I don’t feel Him near me, He’s present. He understands my needs.
Do I see God as approachable? The Scripture teaches us that he wants to be. He created us for His pleasure.
My vision of God affects how I live. Getting to know God will be a priority. If I don’t see him properly for who He is, with reverence and respect, it will show in my life and in my choices. My actions reveal how I see God.
