"He knows what is in the darkness"

We are not like God. He created us in His likeness, but we are not like Him.

I want to begin to share some things revealed in God's word that will show us clearly and without a doubt that we are not like Him.

These "attributes of God" will help us to see how all of us "fall short of the glory of God" and why we need our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ to die in our place and to reconcile us back to a right relationship with God.

We were born into sin without a choice. The Most Holy God cannot tolerate sin in any form, but He made a way for us to come back to Him through His Son Jesus. We are not without hope.

I didn't research these verses. I received them several years ago when I was studying the basics of biblical counseling. If anyone recognizes this work as his own, please let me know so that I can give full credit.

God is Absolute - complete - perfect - not limited in any way

Job 42:1-2 "Then Job answered the Lord and said, "I know that Thou (God) can do all things, and that no purpose of Thine can be thwarted."

Psalm 145: 11-13 "They shall speak of the glory of Thy (God's) kingdom, and talk of Thy power; to make known to the sons of men (us) Thy mighty acts, and the glory of the majesty of Thy kingdom. Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and Thy dominion endures throughout all generations."

Isaiah 44:6 Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of Hosts: "I am the first and I am the last, and there is no God besides Me."

Daniel 2: 20-22 Daniel answered and said, "Let the name of God be blessed forever and ever, for wisdom and power belong to Him. And it is He who changes the times and the epochs; He removes kings and establishes kings; He gives wisdom to wise men, and knowledge to men of understanding. It is He who reveals the profound and hidden things: He knows what is in the darknes, and the light dwells with Him."

I Timothy 6: 15-16 "............He (God) who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and the Lord of lords; who alone possesses immorality and dwells in inapproachable light; who no man has seen or can see. To Him be honor and eternal dominion."

Take some time, read and reread these verses. Meditate on them. Let the truth of God's word sink into your soul. God will bless your "diligent seeking."
