"I am the Lord, there is no other.
I form the light, and create the darkness, I make well being and create woe; I, the Lord, do all these things." (Isaiah 45: 6 - 8 NABRE)
The Bible is the Text Book of God who teaches us what is good for us. (Isaiah 48: 17)
Many places in the Bible, Abba Father reveals Himself as in Isaiah 45: 8 above. In Exodus 34: 6, He describes Himself thus: The Lord, the Lord, a God gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in love and fidelity." And in Psalm 145: 8, "The Lord is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in mercy." In Psalm 103: 8, "Merciful and gracious is the Lord, slow to anger, abounding in mercy."
The self-revelation of Abba Father goes on and on throughout Scripture. Why? He wants His children to know Him well and stop fearing Him. God created us to know Him, to love Him and to serve Him so that we can live with Him forever.
Come O Little One of Bethlehem.
