God is ....

I am a deep-thinker. Contemplative. I love to sit here and think deep meaningful wonderous thoughts. And right now all that is in my head is...

God is

Not God is beautiful, marvelous, wonderful, glorious, lovely, gracious, forgiving, merciful, mighty, powerful, great, awesome, majestic... Not any of those and yet all of them and more...

I'm stuck on this... God is. I'm letting this just wash over me. God is. I love to be in the presence of the Lord Almighty! Who was, and is, and is to come. Whoa... God was. God is. God is to come. God was. God is. God is to come. (I love meditating while I'm blogging.) God was the Alpha and He will be the Omega. Before creation, there was God in perfect communion with the Son and the Holy Spirit. Just sitting there, taking up all of ... all of Them... being in communion with each other. Outside of space and time. God was. God is. God is to come.

So much of the Bible comes back to this fact. God is...

Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.

He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.

With long life will I satisfy him
and show him my salvation."

When I meditated on this passage I got stuck. I will be. I will be with him. God is ever-present. "I will be with him in trouble." God doesn't say I will prevent the trouble or I will destroy the trouble. No, he says I will be. I will be with him. I will be with you in your trouble. God's presence is here. And I love the end. I will show him my salvation. In the Hebrew yeshua, "I will show him Jesus." All "because he loves me" says the Lord. Because he loves me... Anyways, that's another topic for another day.

I would love to take a theology class on "God is." I would love to have deep philosophical conversations on this topic. I need to have more deep philosophical conversations on this topic. I need to have more deep philosophical conversations on this topic with Jesus. (No offense to anyone who wants to discuss this with me other than Him.)
