Meditate on his character. Consider that God is the Creator of heaven and earth (Gen. 14:19). Scripture calls him God of glory (Ps. 29:3), the great I am (Ex. 3:14), and righteous Father (John 17:25). God is our fortress of salvation (Ps. 28:8) and the eternal King (Jer. 10:10). He is the God of all comfort (2 Cor. 1:3), the God of all grace (1 Peter 5:10), and the God of peace (1 Thess. 5:23). He is the Almighty (Gen. 49:25), both compassionate and gracious (Ex. 34:6), and he is a consuming fire (Deut. 4:24).
