Job 36:26. “Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.”
THE GREATNESS OF GOD. I stop at the edge of my experience, and look at the vastness beyond. The borders of our galaxy seem immeasurably vast, but to God, it's the corner of a room Where He sits, I cannot explain but I know earth is to Him, His stool - Through the unlimited universe, everything is under His rule.
There is no way I can define perfection, without comparing it with something wrong. The reason I can know what is weakness, is to compare it with what is strong. To speak of the power and greatness of God, I compare the limits and smallness of men - The fact of the heaven of heavens not containing Him, goes beyond the descriptions of a pen.
There is so much about the Almighty God, that it defies any real description. And God wouldn't really be God if He lay within the realm of mans' definition. However, there is much to be known of God, when I stop to look around. An even greater revelation of Him, is in the pages of the Bible to be found.
His greatness is not only measured by power, or dimension, or size. The greatness I can best understand is what in His character lies.
There is no limit to His moral astuteness; moral perfection in Him dwells. Righteousness is in His being; because He is holy, holiness His person fills.
Limitless love and mercy are part of God's fullness I know. Marvelous and matchless grace through Christ to me God did show. Truth in its total perfection, I can, through Him partially grasp - Because truth is in the Lord Himself, and that will eternally last.
To consider knowledge with no limit is beyond my capacity. But I believe through eternal ages new things will be revealed to me. Because God is eternal in His being, things will continually unfold - Of dimensions of character, power and ability of which we have yet to be told.
As limited as I am, I would be frustrated if I could really understand God. There wouldn't be the joy of learning of Him if there weren't mysteries yet to unfold. The way God allows me little by little to learn of Him makes it so real - After each new glimpses of understanding, the greater the joy that I feel.
It never ceases to amaze me, that I in His image am made. To even write those words on paper, makes me a little afraid. For I am treading on holy ground where He wants me to walk with Him. Not only does the Father and Son abide with me, but the Holy Spirit lives within.
“O Gracious, Holy God: I am awed here in Thy presence at Thy greatness. To be able to call Thee, Father, gives me great joy and delight. I praise Thee in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
