The Characteristics of God

You can use the characteristics of God to help you praise Him. The following is a list of God's
characteristics that you can use to build your vocabulary of praise. You are given a characteristic of
God and the Bible verses that show you this truth. You can use these characteristics in the following
way:

Psalm 115:3-"But our God is in heaven; He does whatever He pleases."

Father, You are the independent God. You are in heaven in absolute control. You do whatever
pleases You. You work out Your purpose for this world. You only are the living and true God.

This list is not exhaustive. It is intended to help you start learning about our glorious God and to
pursue Him with fervent praise.
