Our God: Mighty, Merciful, and Ever Present

 

Our God: Mighty, Merciful, and Ever Present

When we speak of “Our God,” we are declaring a personal relationship with the Almighty Creator of the universe. He is not just “a” God or “the” God—He is our God. This statement carries power, intimacy, and deep meaning. It reminds us that the God who parted the Red Sea, who raised Jesus from the dead, and who promises eternal life is the same God who walks with us daily.

Who Is Our God?

The Bible reveals the character of God through His names, His actions, and His Word. From Genesis to Revelation, we see that:

• He is Creator – Genesis 1:1
  “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”
  Our God is the author of life, the One who formed us in His image and spoke the world into existence.

• He is Savior – John 3:16
  “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son...”
  Our God didn’t leave us in sin; He came to rescue us through Jesus Christ.

• He is Shepherd – Psalm 23:1
  “The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.”
  Our God guides, protects, and provides. We are never alone when we walk with Him.

What Makes Our God Unique?

1. Our God is Powerful
   “Great is our Lord and mighty in power; His understanding has no limit.” (Psalm 147:5)
   There is no situation too big or impossible for Him. He is the One who makes a way where there seems to be no way.

2. Our God is Loving
   God is not distant or indifferent. He is a Father who loves His children with an everlasting love.
   “But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)

3. Our God is Faithful
   Even when we falter, He remains steady.
   “Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; He is the faithful God, keeping His covenant of love...” (Deuteronomy 7:9)

4. Our God is with Us
   He is Immanuel—God with us.
   “The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves.” (Zephaniah 3:17)

Declaring “Our God”

When we say “Our God,” we’re not just identifying Him—we’re proclaiming our trust in Him. It’s a declaration that He is:

• Our hope in suffering

• Our peace in the storm

• Our strength in weakness

• Our joy in sorrow

As the worship song says:
"Our God is greater, our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is healer, awesome in power
Our God, Our God..."

This anthem reflects a truth that echoes through every page of Scripture: Our God reigns.

A Personal Invitation

If you don’t yet know Him as your God, the invitation is open. The Bible says, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” (Romans 10:13) He wants to be more than a distant idea—He wants to be your Father, Savior, and Friend.

A Prayer to Our God

Heavenly Father, thank You for being our God—faithful, loving, powerful, and ever-present. Help us to trust You more, to walk in Your ways, and to rest in Your promises. May we always glorify Your holy name, for You alone are worthy. Amen.

Our God is not just an idea; He is the living God, actively working in the lives of His people. Trust Him, worship Him, walk with Him—and you will never be the same.
