There is a lot said about modern preaching and how we need more sermons on hell; I will save that debate for another day. However, there is something else that I find missing from our pulpits: it is the teaching on some of the most compelling attributes of God as found in the Old Testament writings. Before we go any further, I need to make sure that you understand what this study is about. In no way am I telling you that the Old Testament God is different. To the contrary, this study is about our understanding that God is immutable; He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. GOD NEVER CHANGES. And that, my dear sisters, is the point of this study. In many of our modern-day churches we have come to understand God as unconditionally loving and forgiving. Indeed, He is loving and forgiving, but we Christians make a grave error when we assume that God has no expectations or that He makes no demands on His children. In the Old Testament writings, God directly and fully reveals His character and His attributes. As we read the stories, we have an opportunity to witness Him as the Infinite and Eternal Creator. We come to know him as our Provider, Sustainer, Savior, Deliverer, Helper; our All-in-All. We see His love for His people, and His sorrow when they reject Him. We also witness His anger, justice, and ultimate discipline for those who disobey, dishonor and reject Him. As followers of Christ, it should be the heart of every believer to seek and desire to be like Him, but how can we do so until we fully understand who He is? Through this four-part devotional study, you will get to know the Person of "The Ancient of Days" and discover how that knowledge can impact your daily walk with Him in a profound and exciting way.
