Who is God to you? Don’t answer too quickly. Pause…. think… let your mind navigate that question.
As I pondered this thought today, my mind rolled through scenes of my life. All He has done for me, all He has given me, all the moments of pain and joy that He carried me through! How can I adequately articulate who He is to me?
But now, this is what the Lord says—
He who created you, Jacob,
He who formed you, Israel:
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are Mine.
2 When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze. Isaiah 43:1-2
From Genesis to Revelation, the attributes of God, His character, His heart, His goodness is referred to by many different titles! From Abba to Y’shua, Alpha to Omega, over 900 names and titles1 still cannot capture the essence of who our God is to His people!
I Am… He is the I Am… everything we need can be found in Him! I find such peace in knowing that no matter what I need, He has a way to meet that need. He holds me in His lap and allows me to rest my head against His chest. His presence eclipses my need when I choose to dwell there! Who is God to me? Daddy! I find my greatest fulfillment in my relationship with Him as a daughter, accepted, valued, loved unconditionally, His princess. THAT fills my love tank!
But who is He to you? He wants to be your everything! But He will start by being your Savior, your Father, your Healer, your Deliverer.
Has it been awhile since you’ve connected with Him? Talk to Him today! Find that quiet place where you can pause and listen. He wants to love on You and draw you into His arms. There’s such peace in that place! He will not reject you! He will not scold you! He will set you on the path He designed for you just as a parent would redirect a child riding his bicycle in the street.
Are you in need today? He is a Way Maker! He is a Miracle Worker! Let Him be who You need today! Our God is a Light in Your Darkest places!2
“God is not human, that He should lie, not a human being, that He should change His mind. Does He speak and then not act? Does He promise and not fulfill?” Number 23:19
“For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through Him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God.” II Corinthians 1:20

Elba, I love this translation of Psalm 34:18: “If your heart is broken, you’ll find God right there; if you’re kicked in the gut, He’ll help you catch your breath.” Praying for your heart and that you’ll feel our Daddy right beside you today!
