An overview of 7 wonderful qualities of God to further inspire our awe and devotion to Him.
7 attributes of God
A Brief Testimony
It was a quiet day at the restaurant. As I stood against the wall, waiting for guests to arrive, my mind drifted to how lost I was before I met Christ.
To be honest, I thought I knew where I was heading in life, "I’ll be this girl, with this amount of money, working in this career, living in this home, driving this car, marrying this helluva handsome man." But I later came to realize that
my Lord has a brighter future for me,
one that exceeds my expectations.
Also, I thought I knew the truth regarding pleasures, my body, and sexuality, but for the longest while, I was embracing lies.
But I know who I am! “I am Ashaki Dixon, grew up in this community, belonging to this family, with these desires, gifts, and ambitions.” It's wonderful news that I know a couple of things about myself, and not going mad. But what I know is minuscule to the knowledge God has of me, and the great plans He has in store for my life.
Before coming to Christ, my identity was being built on a shallow and misguided foundation. However, my self-knowledge and self-worth drastically changed when I gave my life to Christ and
began knowing Him intimately. My distorted identity, attitude, and life choices have all been transformed to reflect His truth and glory.
How did it all happen? By getting to know God for myself. Now I'm overjoyed to shout out to the ends of the earth that
I know who and why I am because I know whose I am!

7 Attributes of God Every Christian Woman Should Know
The Self-Existence of God
The self-existence of God means that our God exists all on His own, without depending on anything or anyone. Our God doesn't need any external source or cause to exist; rather, He exists by His own nature & power. Our God is self-sufficient, needing nothing and no one to keep Him alive.

2. The Transcendence of God
The transcendence of God means that He exists beyond and outside the physical universe. This attribute accurately describes how amazing, unique, and powerful our Lord is. God's transcendence means that He is not tied down by time, space, or any earthly constraints. He's in a whole other realm that we’ll never grasp on this side of life.
Bible verses to reflect on

3. The Sovereignty of God
The sovereignty of God speaks to His supreme power, authority, and control over all creation. He's the ultimate top boss and CEO of the universe. He calls all the shots and guides things according to His Kingdom plan. God's sovereignty covers everything– all events, circumstances, and outcomes, both in the natural world and in each of our lives.

The veracity of God means that He is trustworthy. We can trust unreservedly that His words are completely secure, reliable, and dependable. Throughout the Bible, God is depicted as a God who cannot lie (Titus 1:2), and His promises always come through (Num 23:19). This attribute of God serves as a solid foundation for believers because it implies that, “we can fully trust God with our love life, sexuality, career, finances, health and eternal future.”

2 Timothy 2:13: "If we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot disown himself."

5. The Omniscience of God
The omniscience of God refers to His attribute of being all-knowing. Our God doesn’t just know a lot; He knows everything. He possesses complete and perfect knowledge of everything, the past, present, and future. He knows every detail, thought, intention, and outcome on and beyond Earth. There is absolutely nothing I can keep away from my Lord. He knows me more than I know myself.
Bible verses to reflect on;

You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely. You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain."

This superpower keeps Him close to His creation at all times. How wonderful is it to know that God is always near you? And here's the comforting part: nothing dreadful we’re going through in life can ever separate us from God's presence. He’s right here with us whenever we need Him.
Bible verses to reflect on;
Psalm 139:7-12: "Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. If I say, 'Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,' even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you."
Rom 8:38-39 "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

The great news is that God’s love is not dependent on our actions, merits, or circumstances but is freely given to every mankind.
Bible verses to reflect on;
Romans 8:38-39: "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

1 John 4:7-12: "Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us."
Affirmation;
