Who is He to you?

If we want to know God more deeply and grow closer to Him, we have to learn who He is.  And I think that we not only need to know who He is, but who is He to you?  That is a personal question that I cannot answer for you, but I can tell you a little about who He is to me.  I was raised in a church my whole life, but it was not until I was about 21 years old that I started to have a relationship with Him.  In doing so, I have found deeper ways to know Him more.  

He is my God, my Savior and my redeemer.  He has blessed us through trials and hardships.  He has given me direction and guidance.  He supplies us with His armor to withstand the lies of satan.  This is something that we are teaching our kids right now.  

He is my rock, my fortress and my strong tower.  The one who allows me to lay beside still waters and rest.  He is my all in all and His mercies are new every morning.  I thank the Lord for this because it allows us to start the day fresh.  My sins from yesterday do not have to be repeated.      

He is my good father and wants what is best for me.  He cannot be explained or totally understood.  He is all-knowing, all-seeing, everywhere, at every time.   He is sovereign, the beginning and the end. 

To me He is my friend.  The one who I can turn to and be helped with my problems or sins.  The one who uplifts and sustains me and never lets me down.  He is closer to me than my wife and children.  And like David said in Psalm 27:4, I cannot wait to "dwell in His house all the days of my life."

John 14:6, "Jesus answered, 'I am the way the truth and the light.  No one comes to the father except though me.'"  

So how do you get to know Him and see how He can change your life?  Make time to spend time in His word.  Ask your pastor questions.  Invite an older member of you church over an talk with them.  Either one would possibly want to be a mentor.  YouTube videos from Dr. Tony Evans, Billy Graham or others are great to watch.  A bible commentary can also help you learn new things and dig deeper into His word.
