My great friend Emily told me that our sweet friend Nicole J told us of another way to study God's living word. She said to read the Word looking for ways to describe who God is. I normally read looking for ways that it can help me instead of looking for ways to know my God better. Though naturally I will get to know Him better by reading my way and understanding what He expects from me, but I really wanted to try this to see what would happen.
It actually was not as easy and I expected, because God is so great and pretty much every word describes Him.
My results:
Philippians Chapter One
Verse 2: Giver of grace and peace
6: Completer
7: Shares His grace with us ---> Generous
8: Truth, Loving, Affectionate
11: Righteous
12: Resourceful
13: Disburser (of His good news)
14: Encourager, Courageous, Fearless
16: Love
18: Worthy
19: Hero (saves us), Helper
20: Confident
21: Heavenly, Perfect
24: Concerned
25: Sacrifices for us
26: Joyful
28: Fearless
29: Consents to the fulfillment of us
30: The word is struggle. I looked it up and found : To contend with an adversary or opposing force and I thought, "Yeah He does that, but the opposing force has already been beat." So the word is now VICTORIOUS.
Scrolled down and found this definition for struggle; Makes a way with violent effort.
As i was typing this, I thought it was crazy that he can be so many different things in such a little amount of time and verses.
I want you to know that I wrote this at 12:35... not 930 in the morning.
I love your heart. Pick a book and chapter for me to do.
