What is the form of God?

What is the form of God?

"GOD spoke to you out of the fire. You heard the sound of words but saw no form—only a voice." (Deut. 4:12)

What, then, is the form of God? If you were asked to draw Him, what would He look like?

As I lingered on this passage, the phrase “you saw no form” stood out. It was as if God handed me a blank canvas and invited me to see His true image—not through physical likeness, but through action.

He reminded me of the parable of the Good Samaritan. A man, beaten and left half-dead by the roadside, was ignored by a priest and a Levite. Yet, a Samaritan stopped, bandaged his wounds, lifted him onto his donkey, carried him to an inn, and paid for his care, even promising to cover the rest of the cost.

"A Samaritan traveling the road came on him. When he saw the man's condition, his heart went out to him..." (Luke 10:30–35)

In that moment, I saw the form of God. God is love. His likeness is revealed not in abstract ideas but in living expressions of compassion, mercy, and kindness.

People may never understand how much you know of God until they see how much you show of Him. That is how the invisible becomes visible. That is how the form of God shines through us—when love becomes action.

"My dear children, let's not just talk about love; let's practice real love." (1 John 3:18)

Have a fruitful day,

Steady your heads

Steady your hands "But Moses' hands got tired. So they got a stone and set it under him. He sat on it and Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on each side. So his hands remained steady until the sun went down.(Exod.17.12 MSG) Consistency and stability are two traits that we need to succeed in life. The Bible says those second guessing themselves will not receive anything from God.  "Ask boldly, believingly, without a second thought. People who "worry their prayers" are like wind-whipped waves."(Jas.1.6)  Our text illustrated this very clearly. Moses had an assignment to keep his hand raised. But as human, he became tired and his hand would come down and as that happened his people would lose the battle. So he devised a means to create consistency and stability, he rested his hands on a stone, with support from Aaron and Hur on either side supporting him.  We need this kind of support, the kind of systems an structures that will help to create stability in ...

Joshua Spoke, the People Moved

Joshua Spoke, the People Moved “And it happened. Joshua spoke, the people moved. Seven priests carrying seven ram’s-horn trumpets went out before the LORD. As they walked, they blew the trumpets, leading the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD.”  (Joshua 6:8) When Joshua gave the instruction, the people did not argue, analyze endlessly, or delay. He spoke—and they moved. That simple act of obedience set divine power in motion. History was shaped not merely by what was said, but by what was done. Actions give weight to knowledge. What we do with the truth we receive determines the outcomes we experience. Many of us know what is right, what God has said, and what steps we should take—but knowing alone does not transform a life. If we consistently acted on every truth we already knew, our lives would look very different. The real question, then, is not “What more do I need to hear?” but “What is stopping me from acting?” This text teaches us how to relate to God’s Word: Joshua spoke, ...

Birthright for sale

Birth rights for sale  "One day Jacob was cooking a stew. Esau came in from the field, starved. Esau said to Jacob, "Give me some of that red stew--I'm starved!" That's how he came to be called Edom (Red). Jacob said, "Make me a trade: my stew for your rights as the firstborn." Esau said, "I'm starving! What good is a birthright if I'm dead?" Jacob said, "First, swear to me." And he did it. On oath Esau traded away his rights as the firstborn." (Gen.25.29-33).  Life has taught us to trade what we have for what we want or need. And this is basic economics but the story of how Esau lost his birthright is a lesson we should not forget in a hurry. It tells us that we do not value what we have, until we have lose it.  Esau had his birthright and that entitles him to a double portion of the inheritance from his father. But he was willing to trade a long term advantage for a short pleasure. He wanted a quick fix over a permanen...
