GOD IS ALL THAT...AND MORE!

GOD IS ALL THAT…AND MORE!

Although, as a Christian, I do not personally subscribe to the tenets of Buddhism, there is one thing that they do which deeply resonates with me.  When referring to the character or attributes of God, they occasionally say “He is that…and more.”  For example, if they say God is good, they might add “He is that…and more.”  If they say God is great, they may add “He is that…and more.”  In other words, human language cannot aptly ascribe or adequately describe the goodness and the greatness of God.  I like that.

Various and sundry names for GOD are revealed in The Holy Writ for our enlightenment, edification and worship.  Each of these divine attributes are available and accessible to every believer.  So prayerfully ponder and practice the presence of God.

Our God is infinitely more than any of us can ever comprehend or imagine.  And that is precisely why HE is “able to do exceedingly abundantly above ALL that we ask or think.” (Ephesians 3:20)  Make sure that your covenant connection is fundamentally intact and faithfully engaged by 1) believing on Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, 2) reading, mediating, speaking, honoring and obeying His Word, and 3) by communing intimately with Him (daily) via prayer and worship.


Sisters and brothers, be continually blessed, and please (above all else) MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO MEET OUR SOON COMING KING. Maranatha!
