We have been talking on Sunday mornings about the nature of God. We began by laying the groundwork that it is a humbling task to try and describe the indescribable and comprehend the incomprehensible. But through creation, scripture and the person of Jesus Christ, we get a glimpse of what God is like.
God is totally other. There are no words we can use to adequately describe God’s majesty and size, or power and knowledge. God escapes understanding. We simply need to look into the sky at night and see the billions of stars to realize that we are talking about a huge God.
But even as big as God is – and as powerful and knowledgable – God is still person
al. God knows your name.
Let that sink in:
God knows your name!
And even more, God loves you. God has a plan for you. God cares about what happens to you.
We can’t understand it. But it is true. God’s mercy and grace make it possible. When we come face to face with this reality, we echo the words of Isaiah, “Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.” (Isaiah 6:5)
When we begin to understand more about God, we realize that our lives aren’t long enough to truly give back to God what we owe. So all we can do is make the most of our time here on earth to live in The Way each and every day!
Worship with your life today!
