"O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep" (Psalm 92:5).
Sometimes, we just need to concentrate on thanking Him for being an awesome God!
How
great is our God? If a list was created, the world would not be able to
contain it. If everything He has done was the result of someone's
bucket list--it would not be a speck in the bottom in the bucket.
His
works--are beyond mere human comprehension. His thoughts--while
certainly not our thoughts--are deeper than all the seas and oceans
combined. While we "think" we have comprehended, even a microcosmic
perspective of the world in which we live, we have not even begun to
understand His greatness or the vastness of the universe He has
created.
When we think we have reached a conclusion about His
Word, He opens our minds and hearts and takes us deeper--into
understanding His intent--for His Word so we can rid ourselves of our
own limited perspectives. That is--He can, when we reach the
understanding that no matter how much we think we know--there is so much
more to know.
The only living person who has ever been privileged to know all that He knows is sitting at His right hand. We are not Him, and the sooner we realize that God has not revealed "the totality" of His Word to any of us, the greater the likelihood we'll understand we need one another.
This
does not mean that God is not revealing Himself to us--He knows that if
one person or even a handful had deep insight to Him--even greater
chaos would reign because of pride. And so, we are humbled with the
knowledge that no one--no not one human being on earth--has
been given exclusive insight into His Word or His Character. What He
reveals--He reveals for all to know--one measure at a time, so we can
absorb what He wants us to know.
Nothing
is too difficult for Him--not healing all disease and sickness, not
creating wealth for all who obey, not giving wisdom to all who will ask,
not preparing the way to promote the Gospel for all who will seek Him,
not loving the unlovable because He is Love! Nothing to difficult for Him and because He is our awesome--we are blessed recipients of all He has to give!
How
great is our God? With all we do know--we still don't know it all, but
we can imagine! Our God is so great and awesome that we'll just have to
keep on living (until the end) to know just how great He is!
