God is Not a Man
by Marsha Iddings
Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
I am so thankful that God is not a man. So many religions of the world have mere men that they have lifted up to the status of god. They have no power to forgive sins, no power to save a man's soul, and no power to raise the dead. They are fickle human beings who can't make up their minds like the rest of us and who from time to time don't keep their word just like all the rest of the human race. Most of them are dead. What trouble we would be in if God was a mere human like the rest of us! I shudder to think of it.
God is eternal, self-existent. He is not like us. He always has been and always will be.
He is a promise keeper, "hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?" He is not fickle like man is.
I find so much comfort in knowing that God always was God and always will be God. When I am in the middle of trials that threaten my well-being, I know I have a God I can run to. I have a God that hears and answers prayer. I have a God that loves me in spite of who I am. I have a God who knows everything about me. I have a God that is not like me in any way, yet knows my weaknesses and offers His strength to help in time of need. He said, "My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness."
God is not a man...that speaks of power and strength to me. He is not weak and wimpy. This is my God.
