Mighty God

This title of Christ has swirled around my head as I have tried to see how it has played out in my life this year. I looked up some cross references in my bible and found this:

Deut. 10: 17- "For the Lord your God is a God of gods and the Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God who does not show partiality, nor take a bribe." And then I read the next verse. "He executes justice for the orphan and the widow and shows His love for the alien by giving him food and clothing." Hmm. What an interesting progression. And then I looked up mighty in the concordance to better understand its meaning.

Mighty- Strong, mighty, champion, hero. Bingo!!!

Understandably, God is the God of gods and Lord of lords, He is a God of justice to all. We were all 'aliens' at some point before coming to Christ as Saviour. But for me how so much more personal they have become.

Christ has been my champion this year. He has gone to bat for me, He has made a way when I thought there was no way. He has become my King in shining armour.

Christ has met my needs financially, in unexpected ways, simply by having my taxes done last year by a CPA, who was able to recoup money for me both from the federal and state taxes. He lead me to a wonderful, christian realtor, who prayed with me about finding a house, and who looked out for me, being sensitive and astute to my needs. He has provided wood and kindling, friends and family to help with the care and maintenance of my home, a sister who has helped me to laugh again. He has been my Champion, my Hero, but isn't that what a husband is to be.

Mighty, Great, Awesome, Impartial, Just, Loving, a girl couldn't ask for more.
