Taking time to consider, to dwell
It is good to take the time to consider, to dwell on the Bible.
The things we read, the things we study and the things we should or are applying into our lives as we walk with Christ.
It is good to dwell on the things we read in the bible that we believe so we may apply and we may grow.
Things worthy of dwelling on (Php4:8-9)
In NASB it says dwell on these things; in ESV it says think about these things, in the NKJV it says meditate on these things and then in the NLT
Do not be surprised if you hear these verses often over the next several weeks, I even challenge you to memorize them, for they are worthy of being pondered, reflected, thought of often.

Gifts available to those who dwell on the truth
Eternal life (Jn6:68)
Peter said that the Words of Christ have eternal life (Jn6:68)
We know the word is life (Jn1
Eternal peace (Jn16:33; Jn14:27)
Jesus said there will be tribulation (Jn16:33) but take heart for he has overcome this world, now if that is not eternal peace then there is
My peace I peace with you, so do not be afraid (Jn14:27)
Eternal assurance (Jn20:31; 1Jn5:13)
We all dwell on things, and sometimes we need to focus and dwell, consider, reflect, think about, mediate on the things of God.
So today that is what we are going to do in this message, we are going to reflect on God.
Reflections on God
Our reflection on God grows and changes as we seek Him and learn about Him through His world and more is shown to us through His creation.

If you have your bible, follow along as I read this, let the beauty of these verses, the description sink in.
Act17:24-25
ACt1
A religious people with many gods, Paul explains to them about the unknown God.
How many people do we know that are seekers, looking for answers, looking for God or something greater, something that has purpose for this life.
You have the answers in the True God, He is not unknown, He is the God that we come to know when we read and study the Bible.
We can come to know His character, His nature, His mercy and His grace.
He is the Lord of heaven and earth (Act17:24-28)
He is Omnipotent (Amo5:8; Acm4:13)
He is the creator and sustainer of all things (Gen1:1; Gen1:24-27; Col1:16; Jn1:3)

And can’t leave out some N.T. too
Col3:
And in the beginning there is this too
Jn1:3
We could spend all morning, all day looking just at that, there are so many passages in the scripture to look at regarding God’s creation, it can blow your mind.
So, grab your bible and reflect on God’s creation, you won’t run out of things to dwell on.
He is the Lord of heaven and earth (Act17:24-28)
He is the creator and sustainer of all things (Gen1:1; Gen1:24-27; Col1:16; Jn1:3)
He is Omnipotent (Amo5:8; Acm4:13)
A beautiful portrait of this is found in the book of Amos, he is one who got it!
He is Omnipresent (Ps139:7-16)
Aco4:13
God is all powerful, He knows all things, created all things, sustains all things and knows the thoughts of man.
It is difficult to try to pull one verse to try to describe the things we can ponder on God.
He is the Lord of heaven and earth (Act17:24-28)
He is the creator and sustainer of all things (Gen1:1; Gen1:24-27; Col1:16; Jn1:3)
He is Omnipotent (Amo5:8; Acm4:13)
He is Omniscient (Ps139:1-6)
Ps139:1-2
Ps139:5-6
So He is the Creator of all, is all powerful, all knowing
He knows the thoughts of man, and knows everywhere we go
All things made by Him, for Him and one day we will be held accountable to Him for what we do with what we have been entrusted with.
Now to the next point.
He is the Lord of heaven and earth (Act17:24-28)
He is the creator and sustainer of all things (Gen1:1; Gen1:24-27; Col1:16; Jn1:3)
He is Omnipotent (Amo5:8; Acm4:13)
He is Omniscient (Ps139:1-6)
He is Omnipresent (Ps139:7-16)
This is another longer passage but look at it, dwell on these words and you can feel the heart of the writer here and hopefully your heart aligns too.
(Read slow, read emphatically, dramatically)
Ps139:13-14
Ps139:
From the womb to the tomb we cannot hide from Him, we cannot flee from His presence.
His glory is displayed in creation
We have dwelt on He is the Creator, now we turn to the glory of God that is displayed in His creation.

Ps19:1-
Are we taking time, are we telling of the glory of God? the heavens are and even the stones will, if we don’t
The Heavens declare His glory (Ps19:1-3)
His eternal power is displayed in creation (Rom1:20)
Even the stones can cry out of his glory (Lk19:40)
His eternal power is displayed in creation (Rom1:20)
Now I have to be forthcoming this verse comes on the heals of the Pharisee’s trying to tell Jesus to shut his disciples up and the crowd as Jesus is entering into Jerusalem on His triumphal entry.
Leading to one more part of his glory being displayed in His creation.
The Heavens declare His glory (Ps19:1-3)
Even the stones can cry out of his glory (Lk19:40)
His eternal power is displayed in creation (Rom1:20)
His creation makes his eternal power known and the Godhead known.
No one has any excuse not to believe, for the time of ignorance has passed.
More to come on that in a minute.
His will is revealed in His Word
May the Word of God tell us of the glory of God and the power of God to save sinful man.
May we look at the Word and some of its revelation to us.
