The Immeasurable God
Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The Lord is the everlasting
God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can
measure the depths of his understanding. He gives power to the weak and strength
to the powerless. Isaiah 40:28-29
How do you measure God?
His ways and thoughts are beyond our comprehension. His power is unfathomable and his love just keeps on going despite the misery our imperfect lives sometimes bring to others.
He holds our breath in his hands (Dan 5) and he can count the stars and the hairs on our head.
He was outside eternity and he came into eternity. He made the world and everything in it from his own blueprint by speaking them into existence. The God we believe in, isn’t some being who is a little bit bigger than we are, he is awesome and beyond anything and everything we can imagine.
He is unchangeable in his person, he is found wherever you are, he is always in control of his thoughts, his actions and his speech. He never tires, he never sleeps, he never gives in and he never fails.
He is and always will be. He can see you as you are now, and as you were before and as you are going to be in a moments time and as you will be for all eternity, all at once. God never judges you for one moment of your life he judges you according to the decisions you make during your lifetime.
He will reward you in the same way. He doesn't cease to love you when you mess up, because he can also see you when you are doing well, and either way God is not fickle. God is not one who can be tempted or accepts bribes or can be blackmailed.
He is satisfied completely with himself, he does not need anything, not even us, but he delights in us and it is his choice that he cherishes us in the way he does.
God is almighty and spectacular and yet is interested in your most miniscule problem. He cares when we call out to him and he cares when we ignore him. He is merciful all the time.
His grace is not based on our obedience alone, it just becomes more obvious when we are in his will, because he knows all about us and what is best for us. Don’t limit God, don’t try and fathom him out, don’t say God can’t help me, don’t ignore his ways. God is ever present, ever willing, ever able to bring power to the weak and powerless, in whatever situation.
