The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him Proverbs 18:17 ESV I sometimes state my case before God. Tell Him I'd do things differently, it would be better if He did things my way. In my time My kingdom come My will be done Our God is all about the heart...ultimately it's about what or who we worship. Who has authority. And quietly, gently, he examines my heart, searches my heart through the Word, the Spirit, the lives and input of others...through living with image bearers, worshipping together, my heart motivations are nudged, tempered, and sometimes cauterised... I state my case and it seems right. Until He comes and examines me, searches me ... #thisisourGod #worthyofourworship #gentle #restoring #kind

..."Here is your God!" ...Who can fathom the Spirit of the Lord , or instruct the Lord as his counselor? Whom did the Lord consult to enlighten him, and who taught him the right way? Who was it that taught him knowledge, or showed him the path of understanding? Isaiah 40:9,13-14NIV A counsellor, a teacher, an advisor, consultant, tutor...these people have studied or learned some knowledge that we don't have, & sometimes they seem to think in ways beyond us...but we study & learn & catch on & sometimes go further than our tutor... But who was God's counselor or tutor? No one. He is just...bigger... just...beyond! Yet He chose to share His heart, His mind with us... #hereisyourGod #worthyofworship

..."Here is your God!" ...Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, or with the breadth of his hand marked off the heavens? Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket, or weighed the mountains on the scales and the hills in a balance? Isaiah 40:9,12 NIV Powerful Personal And now Designer... measured, marked off...weighed... the earth and the universe are not tuned to make human existence and flourishing an accident but the deliberate work of the great designer. The materials of the earth that we use to make things are not there by accident (& because God made it we have a responsibility to look after this planet) When He made this place, He made it for us... #isaiah #hereisyourGod #worthyofworship

..."Here is your God!" See, the Sovereign Lord comes with power, and he rules with a mighty arm. See, his reward is with him, and his recompense accompanies him. Isaiah 40:9-10 NIV There was a story written about a businessman who was so powerful that when he walked in the room he  seemed to bring his own weather system...but no matter how much power or authority a person might have, it pales into insignificance in the face of this description of God. He is completely self contained, in need of nothing...real and complete power and authority...over everything! #isaiah #hereisyourGod #worthyofworship
