What Can God’s Plan Teach Us about Him?
As Jacob teaches his people about the plan of salvation, he rejoices in what God has made possible for us, especially overcoming physical and spiritual death. Jacob’s praises and teachings can help us recognize some of God’s divine attributes. When we recognize how God uses these attributes to bless our lives, we can develop a closer, more worshipful relationship with Him.

Follow Jacob’s pattern and fill in the blank with attributes you have seen God demonstrate: “O how great the ________ of our God.”
