They That Wait Upon The Lord

The prophet reminds the people of God

Our God does not fail

The Lord will come and take care of His people

Our God is the creator of the Universe.

There is no one like our God

Our God has no threat that keeps Him up at night.

That should make you want to get your praise on this morning!

He has never stopped watching over His people-

Song- Our God is an Awesome God!

Our God is an awesome God… He reigns from heaven above …with wisdom, power and love

Our God is an awesome God!

Song- Everlasting God

Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord

Wait upon the Lord, we will wait upon the Lord

Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord

Wait upon the Lord, we will wait upon the Lord

Our God, You reign forever

Our hope, our strong deliverer.

You are the everlasting God

The everlasting God

You do not faint, you won't grow weary

You're the defender of the weak

You comfort those in need

You lift us up on wings like eagles.

There are some lessons we can learn about our God and how our God wants to minister to His people.(you and I)

We see the illustration of an eagle majestically flying and not growing tired and that even the younger grow weary and need the strength of the Lord.

He is the Everlasting God

HE is not a God we have created to be what we want Him to be…He is the God that created us and knows what we need and has provided all that is needed for us to live a powerful and meaningful life with His guidance and help.

From Genesis to Revelation in the Bible, He is an Everlasting God.

David- “Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting.” Psalm 106:48

Only the Lord is everlasting to everlasting.

Paul- “Now to the king eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever.” 1 Timothy 1:17

John- “And I saw another angel flying through the heavens, carrying the everlasting Good News to preach to the people who belong to this world-to every tribe, language and people.”

Only an everlasting God can bring everlasting Good News!

There is but one God, one Everlasting God. From everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. No one else can lay claim to His property -- eternity. The gods of the heathen cannot lay claim to it. But for those who choose to follow Jesus, a glorious eternity awaits. “And God will open wide the gates of heaven for you to enter into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 1:11).

His ways are higher than our ways

Isaiah 55:8-9

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways declares the Lord, as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.”

What Kind of God Would He Be?

What kind of God would God be if we could wrap our minds around Him and His ways?

What kind of God would He be if we could predict where He would go and how He would get there?

What kind of God would He be if He worked out of the same small and limited view of the world and history that we do?

He would be small. He would be like us.

We could not depend on Him to meet our needs and be our strength. He could be called into question and it would be right to doubt Him.
