God Jireh Character Analysis

Great Essays
Although The character of God is autonomously far beyond our ability to comprehend entirely who He is, through the Word of God and one’s experiences we come to know unambiguous facts about Him that make know His character in a distinct and personal way. There are many attributes of God that reveal His character in special ways. For instance, God is Jehovah, the name of the independent, and a self-complete being. God is Jehovah-M’Kaddesh “the God who sanctifies.” God is infinite, which means that God is beyond measurement. God is love and God’s love is so great that He gave His Only Son. God is Jehovah-jireh, “the God who provides.” God is Jehovah-shalom, “the God of peace.” God is immutable, meaning God is ever perfect and unchanging. God …show more content…
I am forever grateful that Jesus found me, saved me, and set me free; and during life’s ups and downs that same sovereignty and goodness has sustained me. Sovereignty is “the attribute by which He rules His entire creation.” It is the application of His other attributes of being all-knowing and all-powerful. God is in control of everything that happens, and it makes Him free to do what He knows to be best. When we experience life’s ups and downs we can’t see or understand the purpose for what God allows, but God is God and He knows what is best for us even when it looks horrible. Romans 8:28 says, “and we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” One can depend on this scripture because God is a God who is good. God is the embodiment of perfect goodness, and is kind, benevolent, and full of good will toward all creation. I have come to experience God’s goodness, and I can testify to it. Today, I love God with my whole heart. I m whole and my past doesn’t define my present or my future. I am a mother to two of the most adorable, intelligent, kind, and loving girls that a mother could have asked for. My oldest name is Kayla, and she is seven years old. Sky my youngest who we affectionately called Baby, and she is five years old. I am also a wife to a wonderful man who loves God, his wife and his …show more content…
I lived amidst situations that people wouldn’t be able to recover from, and I endured pain that could have taken me off course, and at times it did, intending to destroy my future. I could write pages and pages of heartbreak, disappointment, devastation and loss that I have endured in life, I 'm sure most people could say the same thing. However, it is my belief that there is purpose in pain and God orchestrates it all. All my trails are a testimony to God’s Character and attributes. Without those personal experiences, I wouldn’t have a story, but the important part is not only the story but the testimonies of my many victories through Christ. Now I can boast of God as father, God as a healer, His sovereignty and goodness. I now live my life created from a statement that neurosurgeon Dr. Leaf said in her book, Who Switched Off My Brain. She said, “God has given each individual gift but our gifts aren’t a talent or a skill like singing, dancing, preaching, acting, and anything else that we do well, that is a manifestation of a gift. The true gift is how you uniquely think to manifest that gift.” I know there are people in this world trying to cope with life; people who are broken, hurting, angry, and letting life prevail instead of allowing God to reign over their life. There is purpose that is produced from pain,

    Every Psalm that I have read thus far has shown me more and more about God’s grace and how we must give him praise every single day. Not just because of the sole fact that he is our Creator but, because every day each and every one of us go through so many things and he is always there for us no matter what. He is the only one who chooses between giving us life and death, and he is the only one who continuously shows us grace above all else. In Psalm 23:1 “The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need” (New Living Translation).…

    According to these chapters, human beings perceive God as a superhuman being with qualities they would like to have (Highfield 13). Despite having differences with God, humans consider themselves very much alike to God. In support of this claim, the chapters assert that both humans and God are centers of not only desire but also will. According to the chapters, the difference between God and humans is evidenced by God’s ability to achieve desires as well as carry out His will; humans lack this ability. According to Highfield, such perceptions about God make people envious instead of developing the feeling of love.…

    Suffering is in the world all around us, it is a fact of life (2) and it can teach us many things that help us to become better human beings. People often blame God for all of the pain and tragedy in the world; if we are going to learn from suffering and allow it to teach us about the world whilst remaining faithful to God, we must understand that God created a good world and good human beings, His creation has been infected by the introduction of sin, which resulted in the creation of evil and suffering (4). Man was given the option to accept or reject God, Man chose to reject and that is what has caused him to sin and therefore create suffering (5). Part of learning about the world is understanding that people are not perfect, we learn this…
