Who is God? How much time do you have?
God is unchanging. The weather changes. Fashion changes. Even change changes. God has not changed and cannot and will not ever change. He is always the same - yesterday; today; and tomorrow (Heb 6:17-18).
God is unparalleled. Nobody comes close to his power, creativity; wisdom, or love. Many arrogantly believe they are close, but all fall short. There is no one like him (Isa 40:13-14).
God is ungoverned. You and I have policemen, security guards, politicians, and homeowners' association board members telling us what to do. Not God. He holds the position of King of all kings (1 Tim 6:15-16).
God is unbelievable. Writers (like myself) try to encapsulate God with a thesaurus of adjectives, but still our fingers freeze up on the keyboard (as mine are now). He's just so.... well... (Job 11:17-18).
God is untouched. One wayward sneeze in my direction, and I am contaminated, sick with a cold and out for a week. No one can soil or stain God. No outbreak of sin can contaminate him. God is holy and righteous, no matter how sick the world gets (1 Sam 2:2).
God is uncaused. God has no "Made in...." stickers on his side. No birthday. No childhood. No influences listed on his resume. Since no one put God in power, no one can take him out (Ps 90:1-2).
God is unlimited. We are limited by brain capacity, time, relationship overload, responsibilities (one can be at only one baseball practice at a time), and patience. God has no limit to his time, power, knowledge, and love (Ps 147:4-5).
So can God take care of you?
I'll let you answer that.
