I AM HE
Who is God to God? Who does He declare Himself to be? to us?
But for today, it is enough to know that God Is I AM HE. Creator. Caller. Speaker. Comforter. Testifier. Searcher. Burden Bearer. Justice Giver. Knowledge Bearer. The One Who Is Alive Evermore. Witness. The Only God.

Intelligent Worship -- One God -- Part 1
Before we can worship God we have to recognize that there is but One God and that God is the God of the Holy Bible. He is the God of all creation: the heavens: the stars, the moons, the planets, the suns, the galaxies, the black holes, the comets, the milky way, the asteroids and every other thing up in the universes. God is the God of the earth and everything in it, on it, under it, above it; including people.
Genesis 1 and 2 tell us in some detail exactly how our planet came about and where we, as people, originate. And why.
Recognizing that God Is, we also come to the logical and reasonable conclusion that there is only One God, as His Word says.

Christ Reveals Himself to Us
John 14:21
Whoever has My commandments and keeps (guards) them is the one who loves Me. The one who loves Me will be loved by My Father. And I will love him and reveal Myself to him.
Exodus 33:18
Then Moses said, "Please show me Your glory."
Proverbs 8:17
I love those who love me, and those who seek me early shall find me.
Seeking God early in our life is the best way to live God's Word. But when we fail to do that, then each new day becomes an opportunity to begin again, to start over, early in the morning.
Wake up. Thank God for waking us up and keeping us through the night. Morning stretches. Thank God for the ability to move and breathe.
Get out of bed. Stand up. Praise God continuously. Read your Bible or daily devotional or both. Thank God for the ability to read. And thank God for the Spirit who reveals God in God's Word, who reveals Jesus Christ to us; who reveals the mystery of God through the gospel of salvation which God planned from the beginning.
Genesis 3:15 God tells the serpent his fate for his part in the deception of Adam and Eve: And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed. He will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.
Romans 16:20 further enhances Genesis 3:15 - The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
Isaiah 25:8 He will swallow up death forever. The Lord GOD will wipe away the tears from every face and remove the disgrace of His people from the whole earth. For the LORD has spoken.
1 Corinthians 15:54 When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come to pass: "Death has been swallowed up in victory."
Revelation 7:17 For the Lamb in the center of the throne will be their Shepherd. 'He will lead them to springs of Living Water,' and 'God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.'"
Rejoice! early. Praise God early! Seek God's face early! Rise up from your deathbed and glorify God early! Now is the time of your salvation! Now is the day of your redemption!

Yonder
Do you know where Yonder is? Did you know such a location exists in the Bible, too? In the KJV of the Bible Yonder is mentioned at least six times. It basically means a place where a person or thing currently is not. A distance within view.
Genesis 22:5 "And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you." Here in Genesis 'yonder' means to move ahead and up, because Abraham and Isaac went ahead into the land of Moriah and up a mountain God chose (verse 2).
Numbers 16:37 "Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are hallowed." Yonder, away from the camp. A man named Korah, along with several of his cohorts and 250 mighty men rose up against Moses' authority and refused to follow him; nor did they want to listen to the words God was giving him to speak.
After Moses directed folks to stand away from the tents where Korah, Dathan and Abiram lived with their families, God caused the earth under them to open up and swallow all of the these three men and their dwelling places and their wives and families. But the 250 warriors who offered the incense to God were consumed by fire from God. But the firepans, the censers, were not destroyed by God's fire because these pans had been offered to God. The fire in them had to be scattered outside the encampment because it was unholy, but the pans themselves were holy. (Read Numbers 16).
Numbers 32:19 "For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward." Two tribes chose not to cross the river Jordan and settle; they chose to settle on the eastern side of Jordan. They would go and fight with the other tribes for the land which God had given them and then return to the land which they had chosen for themselves. Here 'yonder' is to cross over and move forward. (Read Numbers 32).
2 Kings 4:26 "So she went and came unto the man of God to mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, yonder is that Shunammite:" Here in 2 Kings 4:26 'yonder' is some distance away: close enough to recognize a person but far enough away that one cannot have a conversation with up close and personal. (Read 2 Kings 4)
Matthew 17:20 "And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you."
Matthew 26:36 "Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder."
Therefore, we can conclude that Yonder is a place we are not but will be. Yonder is a destination. Yes, I know where Yonder is. I'm headed there now.

JEHOVAH OR
JEHOVAH OR
(pronounced YAH-WAY ORE)
PSALM 27:1 "The LORD Is my Light and my Salvation. Whom shall I fear? The LORD Is the Strength of my Life, of whom shall I be afraid?"
- This is that Light which shines in the darkness, distinguishing what is Good and what is Right from what is not. "And God said, Let there be Light and there was Light. And God saw that the Light was good, and He separated the Light from the darkness." (Genesis 1:3-4) {while the Light referred to in Genesis 1:3-4 is not the Light of God's Love, it still has the same general concept of light piercing the darkness}.
- This Light is the Path we take through the darkness around us: "Thy Word is a Lamp unto my feet, a Light unto my path." (Psalm 119:105)
- This Light delivers those who walk in darkness: "The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death, a Light has dawned."
- "For you were once darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord. Walk as children of Light, for the fruit of the Light consists in all goodness, righteousness, and truth." (Ephesians 5:8-9)
