Isn’t it wonderful to be alive! Surely we all think so, but what does it mean to be alive? What does it mean to be a living creature? “Living” is a concept we understand innately, even if we rarely or never define such a concept. But we know the difference between things that are alive and inanimate. Throughout Scripture, there are a few things described as “living.” And while that may seem simple, the lessons to be learned are essential.
Today, let’s consider that God is often referred to in Scripture as “the living God.” For example, Psalm 43:2 says, “…my heart and flesh sing for joy to the living God.” Hebrews 10:31 warns, “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.”
Remembering that God is alive may seem basic, but how often has humanity worshipped false gods and idols instead of the real, living God? God is alive, active, and powerful. Don’t worship anything less than the almighty, living God!
