The Most High! (1 of 4)
Series: Snapshots of Who God Is
William Wyne
Psalm 91:1
The Bible has so many different but divine ways of proclaiming God or presenting God in scripture. Often the scripture uses anthropomorphic words or phrases to give us a personal view of God.
That word anthropomorphic is a big word, but it has a mini or micro meaning. Anthropomorphic terms and words attributed to God in scriptures helps to connect the faithful, or even the curious, to a God that they may better understand. And the use of those terms also helps us to identify with Him on a human level. The word anthropomorphic literally use characteristics, emotions, traits of humans to a non-human.
For instance:
The Prophet Ezekiel declared that the hand of the Lord was upon Him and that He carried him and sat him in a valley of dry bones.
Second Chronicles says that the eyes of the Lord roams to and fro on the Earth.
Job said He numbers the hairs on his head and that He counts his steps.
Genesis says that Enoch walked with God.
Isaiah says, who has the arm of the Lord been revealed.

There is something comforting as a believer to know, and to believe, that we are in the hands of God. My personal prayer daily, ''Lord, do not take your hands off me. Lord, let me abide continually in your hands.'' There is also some assurance for me that the eyes of God are watching me. It makes the song more meaningful when I hear the words, ''His eyes are on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.''
It is also a matter of faith assurance to believe that I am not walking alone. The song, ''He walks with me and talks to me and tells me that I am His own'' takes deeper roots.
As we try to walk through what often appears to be a maze and a mystery of life, it is helpful just to believe that He is walking with you. And if He walked with Enoch, He co ...
