The attributes of God empower us to face the year with security and confidence, no matter what comes. In this article, we will outline 30 attributes of God you can rely on in difficult and unknown times.

It’s a new year. And with it comes new opportunities, possibilities, and anticipation. What does this year hold for us? What new adventures lie ahead? Will there be new challenges to face? Will life be better this year than it was last year?

This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.  – John 17:3 (WEB)

For some, the unexpected is frightening. For others, new possibilities are exciting. Whatever this year holds for us, one thing never changes. There is one thing that is constant, dependable, and sure. There is one thing we can count on as we journey through deep valleys and grope in the darkness of uncertainty. And even when life is smooth, and we stand on the heights of happiness, there is one thing beneath us, a firm and steady foundation.
