June 10 “I am the Lord; I change not.” (Mal. 3:6) The attribute of God which describes Him as changeless is called His immutability. He does not change in His essential being. He does not change in His attributes. He does not change in the principles by which He operates. The psalmist contrasted the changing…
June 9 “Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.” (Rev. 4:8) When we speak of the holiness of God, we mean that He is spiritually and morally perfect in His thoughts, deeds, motives and in every other way. He is absolutely free from sin and defilement. He cannot…
June 8 “To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ forever.” (Rom. 16:27) The wisdom of God is a thread that runs all through the Bible. For example! “With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding…With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his” (Job 12:13,16). “O…
June 7 “The Lord God omnipotent reigneth.” (Rev. 19:6) The omnipotence of God means that He can do anything that is not inconsistent with His other attributes.

June 6 “Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord.” (Jer. 23:24b) When we speak of God’s omnipresence, we mean that He is present in all places at one and the same time. A Puritan named John Arrowsmith told of a heathen philosopher who once asked, “Where is God?” The Christian answered, “Let…
June 5 “God…knoweth all things.” (1 John 3:20) The omniscience of God means that He has perfect knowledge of everything. He has never learned and can never learn.

June 4 “Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.” (Psa. 145:3) The thought of God is undoubtedly the greatest thought that can occupy the human mind.

June 2 “It is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.” (1 Kings 19:4b) It is not uncommon for God’s people to suffer from nervous depression, just as Elijah did. Moses and Jonah also wished they could die (Ex. 32:32; Jonah 4:3). The Lord has never…
June 1 “And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a -prosperous man.” (Gen. 39:2) I have heard that one of the earliest versions of the English Bible translated this verse, “And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a luckye fellow.” Perhaps “luckye” at that time had a different meaning. At any…
