Christian Devotionals and Scripture Applied to Everyday Life

There are times in life when everything seems to dry up and fall apart. One day everything is going great and the next you are hit head-on by a slew of problems that threaten to crash your world. Our past few weeks have been like this.

What is God like? This is a question that many have asked for ages and ages. Because of His greatness there is no way that the human mind can comprehend all that God is. But in the Bible God has chosen to reveal certain things to be true about Himself.

I love Thanksgiving. It is a holiday that directs us to think about things bigger than ourselves without the responsibilities for buying candy, gifts, and trees or making extravagant celebration plans. The menu is laid out pretty much the same from year to year and we focus on being together. And that is what I appreciate most about Thanksgiving – we plan to be together and express our corporate thanksgiving for how God has blessed us.

Recently we attended a Thanksgiving event where the people at our table had a conversation about the vastness of the universe. Our group spoke about the millions of stars and galaxies and discussed how small each human being is in the whole realm of the creation. As we chatted back and forth across the table, I considered the comments. I thought about how big and powerful the Creator God is. 

God is love. He doesn't just show love or do loving things, but He is love. This is one of the many attributes that God has revealed about Himself in His word. Love is Who God is and that is a fact that we can rely on.

I have been very disturbed the past few days. The recent accusations of wrongdoing against Bill Cosby, a very well-known and loved celebrity has caused me and others to stop short and think sober thoughts. Could these charges actually be true? I truly hope not, but who knows?
