Clay in the Hands

I am still reading in Romans 11.  Today I got to the end of the chapter and ran across this verse and I have been rejoicing in it ever since.  Do this for me – stop reading right here, just for a minute, and click the link in green and read the verse and then come back here and read the rest of the post.

Now just let that verse settle for a minute . . .

There is no way we can ever fully understand God.  We talked about this earlier this week.  I learned early in my college career, a very frustrating lesson.  I really like to have things nailed down and really understand things, but I learned early on that in a lot of areas, the more I learn, the more I realize I don’t know.  Now that may not bother you, but for me, it has been a lesson that frustrated me at first.

But when I understand this truth about God, I have to stop and praise my Creator!  God is so magnificent, so big, so beyond anything we can understand, that it makes me realize there is nothing I can encounter that God cannot handle.

God is so awe inspiring that I don’t have to worry about anything – nothing!  In fact, simply thinking about how overwhelmingly unknowable God is shrinks my problems and concerns.

How big is God to you?
