Jeremiah 9:23-24 (NIV)
23 This is what the LORD says:
       "Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom
       or the strong man boast of his strength
       or the rich man boast of his riches,
 24 but let him who boasts boast about this:
       that he understands and knows me,
that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth,

for in these I delight,"
 declares the LORD.

Which God Do You Know?

The Weekly Walk

"Behold, the Lord God comes with might, and his arm rules for him; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him. He will tend his flock like a shepherd; he will gather the lambs in his arms; he will carry them in his bosom, and gently lead those that are with young." - Isaiah 40:10-11

The prophet Isaiah describes God's character with what sounds like a contradiction. Read Isaiah 40:10-11 above. Most people know either the God of verse 10 OR the God of verse 11. Which side of God's nature are you most familiar with? Both are true. Both are powerful.

First description: Verse 10. Do you know the God who rolls up His sleeve, bears His powerful arm, slams it on the table and says, "C'mon people - get it together. Live right." Isaiah says, "Behold, the Lord God comes with might, and his arm rules for him; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him." Have you experienced that strong arm of God? Good! But if that's all you know, then be gripped by His other arm described in verse 11.

Second description: Verse 11. God is a shepherd, scooping up His lambs and carrying them close to Him. "He will tend his flock like a shepherd; he will gather the lambs in his arms; he will carry them in his bosom, and gently lead those that are with young." In other words, God provides special treatment for special needs. At certain times your shepherd would say, "This one is hurting. Careful of his wound. We're going to have to carry her for a while." This tender arm of God reminds us of His unique and personal care for us.

God has two arms. . . One arm is mighty and powerful, demanding holiness and righteousness; One arm tenderly cares for the weak and wounded. Almighty and tender. . . one awesome God.
