Power Of His Wonderfulness

Key Scripture:  (For my determined purpose is) THAT I may KNOW Him-that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with HIM,  perceiving and understanding (the wonders of His person), more strongly and clearly. )  Philippians 4:10

Power Point:

     There are people who just make you a better person when you are with them.  They're the ones you CHOOSE to be with because they just bring out the best in you.  They ignite the good qualities and the bad qualities seem to fall by the wayside.

In Philippians 4:10, Paul says, "Í want to KNOW more about You Father.  I want to UNDERSTAND more about how You can be so good.  I want to know the wonders of Your person, more strongly and clearly."

     That is the most amazing statement isn't it?  In fact, Paul is totally focused on, in tune with, and awed by how wonderful God really is. With all he has been through; in spite of all the bickering, complaining and general outrageousness he has had to deal with on a regular basis, the thing that is uppermost in His mind is how wonderful his God is.

     He has his heart set on knowing Him with greater passion and clarity. I am actually reminded of Moses after God had used him to lead the children of Israel to freedom.  Along the way, the were a lot of miracles.  (The Red Sea comes to mind.)  Moses is just sitting and chatting with God and the thing that is uppermost in his mind is, "Who are you really?  What makes You the way You are? Why do You do the things You do?  He, like Paul, is awed by this

incredible God.  The God who is limitless in power, but also limitless, even abounding in love. Think about that!  God abounds in love toward us every

single minute of every single day of our lives, now and forever.  Actually. you could say, then and forever.There was never a time when God did not love you.  And there never will be.

    His love if your salvation.  His love initiated your salvation.  His love encircles you.  It has no end, and no beginning.  The love of God might best be described as an unstoppable force. We can love Him, because He first loved us.  I can remember how miserable my life was before He encircled me in His love.  I had known about Him (at a very minimal level) my whole life.  In deep desperation one night I called out for help.  Within two weeks, He had answered.  The force of His love changed not only my life but my whole family. In His kindness, He opened my eyes to how much He loved me.  The truth is, I could only absorb a tiny bit of that at that time but in the last forty years, I've begun to know more about His wonderfulness.

     I can understand why Paul says,"I've got to know more!"  It's easy to see why he pressed on to understand how God could be so wonderful, what made Him tick! I have the same passion, don't you? Aren't you ready to move aside the things that keep you from spending more time chatting with Him?  Aren't you ready to move closer in to His heart to see what makes Him tick?

Don't you wonder how wonderful He really wants to be for you?

Power Thought:

If He's really wonderful, don't you want to know why, and understand how He could change your life?
