How can you describe God in a few words? How can you carry the ocean in a bucket? There's just too much!
It's exciting to write God Is; at the same time, it can be overwhelming. My best word is "awesome." I usually reserve that word for something that leaves me speechless—as in I'm in awe of God. I can't say the right word for Him.
We learn God's character and attributes through what people in the Bible said about Him. But more importantly, we learn who He is by what He says about Himself, the kinds of things He said to others, and what He has done. There's just so much that it has been difficult to narrow Him down for a booklet you can read daily in less than 10 minutes.
It's like I heard a preacher humorously "explaining" a degree in theology. He said, "You have a degree in God." He drew a large circle in the air with his finger and said, "Here's all there is to know about God." Then he held his thumb and index finger close and said, "And you have a degree." It was a cute illustration. If God is 360 degrees, one degree leaves so much more to learn about him. I may only have a minute of arc (1/60th of a degree) of knowledge of God.
God Is cannot scratch the surface of how great the Creator, Mighty God, Heavenly Father, El Shaddai, Elohim is. I pray that it is enough to whet your appetite for Him.
Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good;
Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! Psalm 34:8
