HOW AWESOME IS MY GOD !!

What an AWESOME  GOD, The Creator of The Universe is!!!! He  has continueously displayed His greatness for all to see.  I can't be quiet about how good He is, His lovingkindness, His mercy, amazing grace, protection, faithfulness, provisions, unfailing love, mercy, goodness, and I could go on and on. He is a never ending God, with a lifetime supply of all that I need to make this life He blessed me with, sing about His Awesomeness!!
I can talk of many things God has done for me, with me and to me, in this life so far, and that could take many, many blogs, but I shall focus on 3 powerful truths for me in my life, right now.  It is so hard to choose only 3, cause they don't even scratch the surface of How AWESOME MY GOD IS, but for this posting they will be the chosen ones. Powerful truth #1: I know that I can not live without the MERCY of GOD daily. The scriptures say,"It is of the Lord's Mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not"-Lamentations 3:22kjv. I could be so close to being consumed (existance over) but His MERCY said no. I am so grateful for God's MERCY in and over my life.  Psalm 6:2kjv, states it clearly, "Have MERCY upon me ,My LORD, for I am weak: My LORD, heal me, for my bones are vexed". What an awesome scripture, filled with faith, healing and promise. I read that with this MERCY  from GOD, I can depend on His strength, His healing, all of which I need in abundance. Websters dictionary gives the meaning of MERCY as: compassion; an act of forgiveness or compassion. He is full of forgiveness and His compassions towards me are numberless. I tried to count them and I loose count. They are infinite. HOW AWESOME IS MY GOD!!!! That is why Psalm 13:5kjv fits my life so well: "But I have trusted in Thy MERCY:my heart shall rejoice in THY salvation. Depending on the MERCY (COMPASSION) of God is how I survive. It is WELL with my soul!!!.   So when I cry out to Him, He hears my voice and His MERCY answers me and that same MERCY follows me all my days. (Psalm 27:7,23:6,30:10). Powerful truth#2: God's LOVINGKINDNESS is all over this existance. The Heavens declare His GLORY!! That LOVINGKINDNESS is all out, straight up, bout it- bout it, power-packed!! "How  excellent is THY LOVINGKINDNESS, My GOD!!therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings". (don't forget what is in and under those wings:HEALING AND PROTECTION!!!) "o continue THY LOVINGKINDNESS unto them that know thee;and THY righteousness to the upright in heart" Psalm 36:7,10. How's your Heart these days? HE commands HIS LOVINGKINDNESS in the daytime... blots out my transgressions and has MERCY on me according to HIS LOVINGKINDNESS (thank God!!) Psalm42:8, 51:1.  That blotting out part is important to me cause I have a lot of transgressions (sins) and I depend on it when I miss the mark. Until I reach perfection (Heaven) it will be hard if not impossible to walk without falling short of GOD"s perfect will. Thank God HE is looking at me through the BLOOD OF JESUS, that cleanses me from all unrighteousness.  Thank God for MERCY, GRACE, COMPASSION, AND LOVINGKINDESS. So because God's LOVINGKINDNESS is better than life, my lips shall praise HIM and He redeems my life from destruction and HE crowns me with LOVINGKINDNESS and TENDER MERCIES Psalm63:3, 103:4. So from days long ago until now and in the future HE has loved me with this everlasting love  and with HIS LOVINGKINDNESS,  HE has drawn me Jeremiah 31:3kjv. This is what I depend on and it helps me at all times, PRAISE GOD ALMIGHTY!!! Powerful truth #3 God's GOODNESS!!! You have heard people say (those who are not ashamed to say it ) "God is Good to me". Well that is His GOODNESS and it is marvelous!!! Remember in the scriptures when GOD told Moses HE would let HIS GOODNESS pass by him and proclaim the name of the Lord before him...Exodus 33:19kjv.  What did HE say about HIMSELF?  "THE LORD GOD, MERCIFUL,AND GRACIOUS, LONGSUFFERING, AND ABUNDANT IN GOODNESS AND TRUTH, Exodus 34:6kjv. HOW AWESOME IS MY GOD!!! His GOODNESS causes so many more of HIS attributes to manifest and display themselves, and all for our benefit, not His. That is GOODNESS!!! I will not make it daily if I don't believe I will see the GOODNESS of the LORD in this time of life each day. That is the author's paraphrase of Psalm27:13. I make the scriptures talk to me so that I can hear what the SPIRIT is saying to this hungry and thirsty heart.  The Bible says".... that the earth is full of the GOODNESS of GOD" and" HIS GOODNESS endureth continually" Psalm33:5, 52:1. Is that a good thing to know about The MOST HIGH, or what!!!
 I shall take Psalm 65:11 and 68:10 as one of HIS many personal promises to me and make it mine. Psalm 65:11nlt:" You crown the year with bountiful harvest, even the hard pathways overflow with abundance," and Psalm 68:10nlt: " There your people finally settled, and with a bountiful harvest, My GOD, you provided for your needy people. Only the GOODNESS and the MERCY and the LOVINGKINDNESS of MY GOD could do such wonders.  So these 3 powerful truths, as well as the intimacy of this personal relationship with THE MOST HIGH,  and walking by faith, will ensure that success in living down here for GOD,  is the only choice for me. It is WELL with my soul, HIS MERCY, LOVINGKINDNESS, and GOODNESS  has made it so!!! HOW AWESOME IS MY GOD!!! Be blessed of The Lord God Almighty!!  Jesus is LORD!!!  I love God's people!!
