Introduction: The Tapestry of God’s Character
- Picture a massive tapestry
- God’s character is like that tapestry:
- Holy – the flawless, set-apart foundation
- Good – the vibrant thread of mercy running through history
- Intentional – the purposeful weaving of every detail in our lives
- Life’s pain or confusion often feels like tangled threads—but God is the Master Weaver.
- Every thread—every moment—is part of a bigger picture He is forming.
- Today, let’s examine that tapestry and discover the beauty in His character: holy, good, and intentional.
God is Holy:
- Set apart in power, purity, and perfection (Isaiah 6:3)
- His holiness undergirds both justice and mercy
- Application: Approach God with reverence and awe; let worship flow from wonder
God is Good:
- Compassionate, gracious, patient (Psalm 103:8)
- Objection: “If God is good and just, why not fix everything now?”
- He will—but not yet (Revelation 21:4)
- His delay = mercy (2 Peter 3:9)
- Application: Trust God’s timing and His goodness even in delay
God is Intentional:
- He desires relationship, restoration, and renewal (Leviticus 26:12)
- God’s justice is restorative, not punitive
- For the lukewarm: God hasn’t given up on you—He’s still weaving your life into His purpose
- For the long-faithful: Don’t settle—there’s always more of Him to know
- Application: Respond to His intentionality with deeper obedience and surrender
Walking it Out:
- Because God is holy, good, and intentional, we respond with awe, trust, and surrender.
