Psalm 147

Revelation 15: 4

Exodus 34: 6 – 7

Have you ever been in a Bible Study where the question comes up of trying to define God?   As each person shares their definition of God,  each definition seems to be different and unique.      Or have you ever been in a meeting with people of differing denominations and their understanding of God is different and unique?   Or taught a Sunday School class of Kindergarten and Grade One students and listened to their description of What is God?   The descriptions are all different and unique.

And rejoice in the glorious love of God this day.

Prayer:    Great God,  we rejoice in Your glorious love.  May we take this love and go out into the world and share it with all peoples.  Amen.
