THE DEPTHS OF GOD

“Oh, how great are God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his ways!” Romans 11:33 

                  If you lack wisdom or knowledge, dip into the deep resource that IS God. The conventional wisdom of this world cannot compare to the wisdom that is God. He is the embodiment of wisdom and knowledge. His essence is truth. He IS so everything about Him is eternal and everlasting. Nothing else on this earth can be spoken of in such a manner. All of creation is finite … the Creator is not. While it is impossible to comprehend, He was and is and always will be. How does a finite mind grasp that concept? It doesn’t. It’s not possible. Oh, some pontificate endlessly about their theories and write dissertations that fill library shelves regarding the topic of God as they attempt to make sense of Him and define Him in terms they themselves can understand; however, they are nothing more than men with very large egos who only think they know.

            The place in which God’s wisdom and knowledge exists flows on endlessly. Notice I did not say ‘the place which contains the wisdom and knowledge of God’ because I believe it to be uncontainable. I believe, just like God Himself, His wisdom and knowledge is living, breathing and never ending.       

            There isn’t anything this side of heaven that makes any sense at all when it comes to God and all the riches He has at His disposal. So rest in God … rest in the knowledge of knowing that you cannot figure it out.  Imagine, if you will, that you are in a free fall through time and space, yet all the time are seen by a God who will not allow anything to harm you. You are safe in His arms, even while you are falling. Instead of stressing about the landing, allow yourself to reside in the peace of God for He will never fail or abandon you. What you must endure God is aware of and has either prepared you for or will sustain you through. Seek His face. Reach out for His wisdom and knowledge and then strap yourself in for the ride of your life.  Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing!
