There are other attributes of God that must be mentioned, even if only briefly. Contemplation of these divine perfections lifts the soul from earth to heaven, from the petty to the sublime.· God is righteous, that is, He is just, equitable and fair in all His dealings. He is "a just God and a Saviour'' (Isaiah 45:21).· God is incomprehensible (Job 11:7-8). He is too great to be understood by the human mind. As Stephen Charnock said, "It is visible that God is. It is invisible what He is." And Richard Baxter said, "You may know God, but not comprehend Him."· God is eternal - without beginning or end (Psalms 90:1-4). Eternity is His lifetime.· God is good (Nahum 1:7). He is "good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works" (Psalms 145:9).· God is infinite (1 Kings 8:27). He has no limits or boundaries. "His greatness is beyond calculation, measurement or human imagination."· God is self-existent (Exodus 3:14). He did not receive His existence from any outside source. He is the Fountain of His own life as well as of all other life.· God is self-sufficient, that is, He has within the Trinity all that He could ever need.· God is transcendent. He is far above the universe and time, and is separate from the material creation.A final attribute of God is His foreknowledge. Christians are divided on whether God's foreknowledge determines who will be saved, or whether it is merely a prior knowledge of who will trust the Savior. Judging from Romans 8:29, I believe that God sovereignly selected certain individuals and decreed that all whom He thus foreknew would eventually be glorified.And so we come to the end of our consideration of the attributes of God. But it is a subject that in another sense has no end. God is so great, so majestic, so awesome that we only see through a glass darkly. Because He is infinite, He never can be fully known by finite minds. Throughout eternity we will dwell on the wonders of His Person and will still have to say, "The half has not been told."

With reverence, humor and skill, William MacDonald wove a daily devotional tapestry that challenges the reader to think deeply and Biblically, and apply God's Word to their lives.

From Wikipedia: 

The New International Version (NIV) is an English translation of the Bible first published in 1978 by Biblica (formerly the International Bible Society). The NIV was published to meet the need for a modern translation done by Bible scholars using the earliest, highest quality manuscripts available. Of equal importance was that the Bible be expressed in broadly understood modern English.

The NIV is published by Zondervan in the United States and Hodder & Stoughton in the UK. The NIV was updated in 1984 and 2011 and has become one of the most popular and best-selling modern translations.
