We can join
the early Christians in praising God, worshipping Him and blessing His
everlasting name each and every day of our life (Psalm145:1-3). His name is
worthy of our praise and His greatness is incomprehensible.
Even in our
intimate union with the Trinity, our finite mind cannot completely comprehend
the greatness of God. We depend on the Trinity for our very existence.
We are
limited in our resources; but as authentic Believers, we have access to God's
unlimited riches (Philippians 4:19). His multi-faceted nature may seem
contradictory to us, but they flow together in His character in perfectly
integrated ways.
For
instance, mercy and wrath may seem inconsistent when seen from a human
standpoint, but when viewed from a spiritual context we see that they meet in
the form of justice.
Although
God's ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9), and He rarely does things that
make human sense, when the dust of our circumstances settles, we get a clearer
picture of the fact that temporal issues are of little consequence, because we
actually dwell in His eternal world.
No one knows
the mind of the Lord (Romans 11:33-34; 1 Corinthians 2:10-11; 1 Timothy
6:13-16); however, Saints of old, such as Moses, had conversations with Him and
even changed His mind on certain issues (Exodus 32:7-14).
By God's
Spirit, we too enjoy conversations with our Living Lord. We experience His
vastness more than we actually understand it. As authentic Believers we reap
the merciful blessings that He imparts to us each moment of our life (Job
26:14).
Prayer:
Heavenly
Father, our finite minds can never understand the true greatness of Your
majesty as well as Your love for us. Our soul hungers after You, and we
dedicate our every waking breath to furthering Your Kingdom in this world for
Your glory and honor. We spend all of our days motived by our hymns of praise
to You for all that You do for us
We
impatiently wait for the return of Your Holy Son to take up His throne on this
earth; however, until then, we thank You for hearing our cries, lifting us out
of the mud and mire of life's slimy pit, setting our feet on solid ground, and
putting Your song in our heart and in our mouth (Psalm 40:1-3).
Thought for
the Day:
God keeps a
record in His books of each of our times of sorrows, and He collects every one
of our tears in His bottle; He loves us so much that He laid down His life for
us all.
- John
3:16-17; Psalm 56:8
