Who is God to you now?

The important question is: Who is God to you now?

If you consider God to be puny, then you will not take much comfort from God's promise to be with you. If you consider God to be unreliable then you will not put much trust on Him. If you consider God to be indifferent to your plight, then you will not expect much support from Him. If you consider God to be a killjoy, then you may not want His ways.

On the other hand, if we remember that God is Almighty who carved a path through the Red Sea when the Israelites seemed doomed, then we would look in expectation to God's deliverance. If we remember that God is our Provider who provided manna from heaven to the Israelites in the desert, then we will look to Him for His provision. If we remember that God is a loving God who sacrificed Jesus on the cross to save us, then we will rest assured in His destiny for our lives.

So what is God to you today?

Zephaniah 3:17

“The Lord your God is in your midst,

A victorious warrior.

He will exult over you with joy,

He will be quiet in His love,

He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy.
