“A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows, Is God in His holy habitation.” (Psalm 68:5)
A picture is worth a thousand words. That’s the old saying—and it’s true. There is something about a visual image that connects with our brain more quickly and clearly than words. We have employed many words about God during the course of this series, “The God You Should Know.” We have considered words like omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, for example—all important words—but in the end we have discovered that God is so far beyond our vocabulary.
So, the Holy Spirit has also taken His brush, and on the canvas of Scripture, has painted several portraits of God. We will examine seven in these studies, though there are many more we might view in the Sacred Text.
The portraits of God we will contemplate are: God as Father (which we see in Psalm 68:5), Defender (also seen in this verse), Savior (found in this same Psalm), Shepherd, Helper, Rock, and Sun. Other Psalms display the wonder of God in these ways. Join us as we travel through the Art Gallery of God!
