The thing about God (and yet how could He be defined in a thing) is that He is much in one for me. He is the great I AM. His ways are beyond mine. He is omnipotent and mighty and the most Extraordinary of the extraordinary.
I close my eyes and imagine the powerful force of Him sweeping through the universe. He orchestrates the crumbling of a mountain and the rise of a people. His hand forms a cloud and His voice scatters the dust. He reaches into the furthest galaxy even as He oversees the minute creature crawling along the ocean floor in search of food. And, that brings me to the very intimacy of Him.
How can it be that God is mindful of me? (Psalm 8:4) He has smiled upon me and shared a laugh. He has made sure my feet are warm. He has given me the taste of a cookie and the perfect shot behind my camera lens. He has helped me sleep. God has answered my questions and challenged me with His own. He has healed my body and soothed my broken heart.
God knows me from the crown of my head to my toes. He is well acquainted with all that I am. He meets me. He holds me. He fills me. What else can I say (but a thousand more words)?
He is Lion and Lamb
"Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and the earth; Yours is the dominion, O Lord, and You exalt Yourself as head over all." 1 Chronicles 29:1
"You are so intimately aware of me, Lord. You read my heart like an open book and you know all the words I'm about to speak before I even start a sentence!" Psalm 139: 3-4
There is blessing found in all of Him. To be aware and have honor and reverence for the God of the universe is important. He is limitless and boundless. He will never fit inside of a box. I bow before Him figuratively and literally. He is my holy God and I am so very glad.
He is worthy of my knees on the floor.
Additionally significant, is to experience the close intimacy He created me to have with Him. He knows the color of my eyes and how I sound when I sleep. Zephaniah 3:17 says that the Lord delights in us, quiets us with His love and rejoices over us with singing.
The I AM on the throne likes me.
He is much in one and that makes me feel safe and cherished, as it should.
It is the same truth for you, child of God.
