I am starting to see God is bigger than I thought!

God is doing some retooling of my thought in a deep place within me. I am living in Job 35-42 these days. I try to read it as often as possible and simple allow the logic to sink into my understanding.  Here is my reflection from my time with God today:

 

Job 36:26 “How great is god – beyond our understanding! The number of his years is past finding out.”

 

“God can be known BUT He can not be fully known. To simply not seek to know him is foolish and displays a lack of understanding, love and appreciation. YET to even imagine that you “know God” is an arrogant error, which reveals not only ignorance but also a very limited scope of understanding.  To view what we know of God as “knowing God” demonstrates a view of God, which is very small.”

 Perhaps I am splitting hairs, but it is where God has me right now. Perhaps another time I will need and He will reveal His nearness to me. But for this season I think I need and He is allowing me to discover His completely otherness, His set apartness, His holiness. God is unaffected by me.

What is in your head?

This series we have be doing at The Chapel on waiting has really picked my interest. (If you haven’t heard them, you can pull them of Itunes.)

The thing is I don’t really think the depths of the topic can be explored in a presentation format. There are so many twist and turns. So many “yea but”s that I think a conversation is required to fully develop the thought and accurately explain all the possible misunderstandings that can arise.

 So what have you been thinking about what you’ve been hearing? Let someone know what is happening in your head. I would love to hear your reflections.
