God is: a Reflection on Psalm 68:1-10, Amos 5:6-15, Hebrews 12:1-14 and Luke 18:9-14

God’s name is the LORD. He is the Father of orphans. God is the protector of widows and the provider for the needy. God is with us. He is gracious to the remnant. Jesus, one with the Father, was the pioneer and perfecter of our faith. God disciplines those he loves. He exalts those who humble themselves.
