New and Old are 1

This summer I began to read random books and specific stories from the Old Testament and now I am taking a the Message of the Old Testament this semester; I can't believe how much I have been learning about who God is. I am use to viewing God as my best friend, wanting to tell him my struggles and dreams, but I can't just box him in a best friend category because He is also my creator. Sometimes I forget that my God is powerful and mighty. The winds and the waves obey him. Nature sings praises to him.
People have told me that the Bible is a love story and now I am starting to see just how true that is. Especially in those hard to read books, like Leviticus, I can see how much God loves his people and how much he craves a relationship with them. He continually provides a way to maintain or retain a relationship with him. We are the stupid ones doing things that sever this precious relationship. Stupid decisions lead to tough consequences, hence the vengeful, jealous God.
This song popped up on pandora receintly and pretty much describes what I have come to realize. I actually stopped everything I was doing and had a "this is real life" moment...
