HOW GREAT IS OUR 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! For who can know the Lord’s thoughts? Who knows enough to give him advice?^[1] And who has given him so much that he needs to pay it back?^[2] For everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended for his glory. All glory to him forever! Amen.” – Romans 11:33-36 New Living Translation

     There is no one more wise and powerful then Almighty God. To not believe in God’s existence means you have placed your trust in nothing more than inconsistent, flawed pretzel logic*. What you think you know much of the time ends up being nonsense that cannot be proven. Even believers in Christ are lured by the wonder of mindless babble at times. It sounds compelling but in fact is nothing more than what unproven hypotheses. Man’s wisdom pales in comparison to that of the Lords.

     Man wants to prove God isn’t real or that he has a strand of evil in him that causes mountains to crumble on top of small villages or epic hurricanes to wash both the beach sand and the picturesque homes from the shore landscape. If you cherry pick verses out of context you can possibly make an argument, albeit a weak one, that God isn’t who his word says he is. The only person who would attempt to do that is the one who either is afraid of the truth or too prideful to admit there is someone greater than himself.

     God’s perfection causes those in his family to look to him in awe for guidance and every blessing.  True believers seek blessings not for themselves, but so that they may be a blessing to others.  The scriptures are riddled with passages that exclaim his awesome majesty and glory. He is the great I AM, the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. There is no one greater than God! Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing!
