Psalm 89:14 Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.

Once again I use this verse to bring this last personal attribute of God to light. If you understand the issue of the face then you understand His countenance, His expression, as seen through mercy and truth.

Having accepted the atoning work of Jesus Christ by faith, we receive mercy and we come to know the truth. His Word is true, His promises are true and His Spirit is truth. We know Him, we know truth.

I could give you a full listing of all these things to demonstrate God is true, but I would rather take this time to point out something which became apparent in these devotionals about God’s personality.

The telling of God’s personality traits is the Good News. It is salvation’s story from creation to eternity. I could not hardly relate these things I know about God without noticing the correlation between His identity and His salvation plan.

Everything God is in personality and character focuses on restoration of relationship. We can clearly see that if we look to God’s motives. If we look only to His actions it is easy to misunderstand His motives. When people ask how your God could do any particular thing, one needs only to look at His motivations first to discover why God did the things He did.

Secondly, not all acts in this world are God caused. The second most asked question is; how could God allow evil to happen? Some of the answers to that question are directly related to the fact that sin has consequences. Having a relationship with God does not nullify those consequences.

The other part of that answer might be seen in how God interacts with His creation. Those things are understood partially within His omni-actions. Omnipotent is the only one used in the KJV, Omnipresent and Omniscience are referenced in the NASB in Psalm 139:1.
