THE MAJESTY OF GOD
The Lord God Almighty is a Person of Un-imaginable Power and Greatness.
He is a Person of Perfect Holiness, Loving intentions, and Pure Justice.
He is Generous, Wise, Creative, Mathematically Precise...
He rules His universe with Dignity and Authority and Autonomy.
The fact that He desires to know us and fellowship with us
is almost un-explainable;
the Fact that He gave His only Son to die and save us
is beyond all understanding...
except it is His Choice and His Will to do so.
Sometimes we get to thinking of "Gentle Jesus, Meek and Mild",
holding the little children on His lap as He blessed them...
and while this is one facet of His Personality,
we must not lose sight of the Almighty God that He is.
Here is a little picture of the Throne Room of Heaven,
where God Sits on His Throne, with Christ in His Right Hand,
accompanied by angellic creatures whose joy it is to worship Him.
And remember...one day soon,
we as Believers will all be there.
Are you ready?
In Christ......brother bob......<><
--Bible Verses to Ponder--
Isa 6:1 (KJV)
In the year that king Uzziah died
I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne,
high and lifted up,
and his train filled the temple.
Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings;
with twain he covered his face,
and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.
{3} And one cried unto another, and said,
Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts:
the whole earth is full of his glory.
{4} And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried,
and the house was filled with smoke.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Isa 40:5-31(TLB)
{5} The Glory of the Lord will be seen by all mankind together."
The Lord has spoken--it shall be.
{6} The voice says, "Shout!"
"What shall I shout?" I asked.
"Shout that man is like the grass that dies away,
and all his beauty fades like dying flowers.
{7} The grass withers,
the flower fades beneath the breath of God.
And so it is with fragile man.
{8} The grass withers, the flowers fade,
but the Word of our God shall stand forever."
{9} O Crier of good news,
shout to Jerusalem from the mountaintops!
Shout louder--don't be afraid--tell the cities of Judah,
"Your God is coming!"
{10} Yes, the Lord God is coming with mighty power;
he will rule with awesome strength.
See, his reward is with him, to each as he has done.
{11} He will feed his flock like a shepherd;
he will carry the lambs in his arms
and gently lead the ewes with young.
{12} Who else has held the oceans in his hands
and measured off the heavens with his ruler?
Who else knows the weight of all the earth
and weighs the mountains and the hills?
{13} Who can advise the Spirit of the Lord
or be his teacher or give him counsel?
{14} Has he ever needed anyone's advice?
Did He need instruction as to what is right and best?
{15} No, for all the peoples of the world are nothing in comparison with him;
they are but a drop in the bucket, dust on the scales.
He picks up the islands as though they had no weight at all.
{16} All of Lebanon's forests do not contain sufficient fuel
to consume a sacrifice large enough to honor him,
nor are all its animals enough to offer to our God.
{17} All the nations are as nothing to him;
in his eyes they are less than nothing--
mere emptiness and froth.
{18} How can we describe God?
With what can we compare him?
{19} With an idol? An idol made from a mold,
overlaid with gold, and with silver chains around its neck?
{20} The man too poor to buy expensive gods like that
will find a tree free from rot and hire a man to carve a face on it,
and that's his god--a god that cannot even move!
{21} Are you so ignorant?
Are you so deaf to the words of God--
the words He gave before the world began?
Have you never heard nor understood?
{22} It is God who sits above the circle of the earth.
(The people below must seem to him like grasshoppers!)
He is the one who stretches out the heavens like a curtain
and makes his tent from them.
{23} He dooms the great men of the world
and brings them all to nothing;
{24} They hardly get started, barely take root,
when he blows on them and their work withers,
and the wind carries them off like straw.
{25} "With whom will you compare me?
Who is my equal?" asks the Holy One.
{26} Look up into the heavens!
Who created all these stars?
As a shepherd leads his sheep, calling each by its pet name,
and counts them to see that none are lost or strayed,
so God does with stars and planets!
{27} O Jacob, O Israel, how can you say
that the Lord doesn't see your troubles
and isn't being fair?
{28} Don't you yet understand?
Don't you know by now that the everlasting God,
the Creator of the farthest parts of the earth,
never grows faint or weary?
No one can fathom the depths of his understanding.
{29} He gives power to the tired and worn out,
and strength to the weak.
{30} Even the youths shall be exhausted,
and the young men will all give up.
{31} But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.
They shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

1 Chr 29:11-13 (KJV)
{11} Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power,
and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty:
for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine;
thine is the kingdom, O LORD,
and thou art exalted as head above all.
{12} Both riches and honour come of thee,
and thou reignest over all;
and in thine hand is power and might;
and in thine hand it is to make great,
and to give strength unto all.
{13} Now therefore, our God, we thank thee,
and praise thy glorious name.
AMEN
