Nehemiah 9: 8 (NIV)
“You have kept your promises because
you are righteous.”
|
 |
| God is who He is.* |

It’s hard to single out just one attribute of God to explain his actions in any particular situation. Everything he does is a result of everything he is. When we thank him for keeping his promises, we might also praise him for his lovingkindness. When the Levites called out to the Lord as recorded here in Nehemiah, they were mindful of his righteousness. God can’t not keep his promises. He wouldn’t be righteous if he couldn’t be trusted.
Which of God’s attributes provides you with the most comfort? I think I find the most comfort in his consistency – or immutability, I believe is the technical term. He is true to himself always. He never has “one of those days” when he just doesn’t feel like being everywhere at once. He isn’t wishy-washy about being merciful. With God, all things are possible – except that it is impossible for God not to be God.
Want to learn more about the attributes of God – the characteristics that set him apart from all other beings? Google “attributes of God” and read the articles, being careful to check the scriptures to ascertain that they are accurate and applicable. Then take some time to praise God for who he is and how each of his attributes impacts your life in a positive way.*
