GODFIRMATION: God is Patient

This Godfirmation today is a reminder that God’s timing is truly perfect, especially when it comes to our salvation. 2 Peter 3:9 is a reminder of God’s patience towards us in that regard.

People often associate the eighth and ninth verses of this chapter with God’s patience and promises in our own lives. And I believe that He is. God’s ways are not our ways, and He operates as a master strategizer knowing just what we need when we need it. But, while others may apply this verse to God’s promises for their individual lives, there is a greater purpose. This is applicable to our ETERNAL lives.

GODFIRMATION: God is Wise

Several verses in the Bible speak to God’s wisdom. We Christians serve a God Who is all-knowing and also knows what is best for each of us.

GODFIRMATION: God is Sovereign

When you consider the sovereignty of God, what comes to mind? This Godfirmation is a reminder that God is Lord of all creation. He can exercise and has exercised that authority as well.

This is a serious attribute of God! Because of His sovereignty, everything happens according to His plan and intention. He has all power and has the ability to create from nothing, give anything, and take away anything.

GODFIRMATION: God Hears Our Prayers

This Godfirmation today is a reminder that, despite what we may think, God truly does hear our prayers. And now I understand what a privilege it is to carry everything to Him!

Jeremiah 29:12-13 is a reminder that, despite the Israelites’ rebellion against God, He would still hear their prayers. Ultimately, God would still hear the prayers of Israel, and thousands of years later, God also hears ours.
