[b]Lord of rightousness[/b]

Tb 13:6 When you turn back to him with all your heart, to do what is right before him, Then he will turn back to you, and no longer hide his face from you. So now consider what he has done for you, and praise him with full voice. Bless the Lord of righteousness, and exalt the King of the ages. In the land of my exile I praise him, and show his power and majesty to a sinful nation. "Turn back, you sinners! do the right before him: perhaps he may look with favor upon you and show you mercy.

[b]God of Heaven[/b]

Jon 1:9 "I am a Hebrew," Jonah answered them; "I worship the LORD, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land."

[b]Incomparable[/b]

2 Sam 7:22 And so-- "Great are you, Lord GOD! There is none like you and there is no God but you, just as we have heard it told

[b]Invisible[/b]

Jn 1:18 No one has ever seen God. The only Son, God, who is at the Father's side, has revealed him.

[b]Inscrutable[/b]

Is 40:28 Do you not know or have you not heard? The LORD is the eternal God, creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint nor grow weary, and his knowledge is beyond scrutiny

[b]Unchangable[/b]

Nm23:19 God is not man that he should speak falsely, nor human, that he should change his mind. Is he one to speak and not act, to decree and not fulfill?

[b]Unequaled [/b]

Is 40:13-25

13 Who has directed the spirit of the LORD, or has instructed him as his counselor?
14 Whom did he consult to gain knowledge? Who taught him the path of judgment, or showed him the way of understanding?
15 Behold, the nations count as a drop in the bucket, as dust on the scales; the coastlands weigh no more than powder.
16 Lebanon would not suffice for fuel, nor its animals be enough for holocausts.
17 Before him all the nations are as nought, as nothing and void he accounts them.
18 To whom can you liken God? With what equal can you confront him?
19 An idol, cast by a craftsman, which the smith plates with gold and fits with silver chains?
20 Mulberry wood, the choice portion which a skilled craftsman picks out for himself, Choosing timber that will not rot, to set up an idol that will not be unsteady?
6 One man helps another, one says to the other, "Keep on!"
7 The craftsman encourages the goldsmith, the one who beats with the hammer, him who strikes on the anvil; He says the soldering is good, and he fastens it with nails to steady it.
21 Do you not know? Have you not heard? Was it not foretold you from the beginning? Have you not understood? Since the earth was founded
22 He sits enthroned above the vault of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; He stretches out the heavens like a veil, spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.
23 He brings princes to nought and makes the rulers of the earth as nothing.
24 Scarcely are they planted or sown, scarcely is their stem rooted in the earth, When he breathes upon them and they wither, and the stormwind carries them away like straw.
25 To whom can you liken me as an equal? says the Holy One.

[b]Unsearchable[/b]

9 If I fly with the wings of dawn and alight beyond the sea,
10 Even there your hand will guide me, your right hand hold me fast.
11 If I say, "Surely darkness shall hide me, and night shall be my light" --
12 Darkness is not dark for you, and night shines as the day. Darkness and light are but one.

3 Things of the past I foretold long ago, they went forth from my mouth, I let you hear of them; then suddenly I took action and they came to be.
4 Because I know that you are stubborn and that your neck is an iron sinew and your forehead bronze,
5 I foretold them to you of old; before they took place I let you hear of them, That you might not say, "My idol did them, my statue, my molten image commanded them."

[b]Source of all good things [/b]

Tb 4:19

19 At all times bless the Lord God, and ask him to make all your paths straight and to grant success to all your endeavors and plans. For no pagan nation possesses good counsel, but the Lord himself gives all good things. If the Lord chooses, he raises a man up; but if he should decide otherwise, he casts him down to the deepest recesses of the nether world. So now, my son, keep in mind my commandments, and never let them be erased from your heart.
