Dear Blessed Saints,
I like to talk about how God is amazing because there is nothing fiction or some form of fantasizing, but is based on absolute truth. When I am around people who only talk about either sports, weather or any other worldly topic you can imagine, and yet, when I get around Christians who talk about the Lord, I find it amazing that I never get tired talking about Him and the wisdom of His eternal life-giving Word. Sometimes, I find it important to add these adjectives in sentences to bring greater emphasis to what we need to say. Especially when we talk about the Lord. This is why I also like the Amplified Version where it often expounds in great detail of the amazing God we serve.
In Prov 30:18-19, it mentions about three things that are too wonderful for me: The way of an eagle in the air, the way of the serpent upon the rock, the way of a ship in the midst of the sea. I often think to myself that what really is too wonderful to me is when I often question this profound thought "How is it that You can love me so much and how You can be so mindful towards us", even though You knew everything about me and my faults? I don't think I can ever be smart enough to answer that question beyond human understanding. When I truly consider this, I realize how amazing His love is towards me that goes beyond my understanding. Consider the fact that when I give thought to Him leaving His glorious Throne in Heaven and willingly accepts to come down to earth in the form of flesh not born in a nice hospital or comfortable setting, but started His live in a manger, I compare it like myself going from being a human being to accepting by becoming an ant in the lowest ranks and being that servant to all and willingly being chastized, beaten, mocked, ridiculed and rejected by His own family members, people from His own hometown, etc. And how He did this for myself (insert your Name here) personally. To me, this is just scratching the surface of His amazing love He has for each of us individually.
Another amazing thing about God is when you consider the billions of people on the face of this earth, there is no one who is out of sight of God. Nor is our innermost thoughts, our words, our motives ever hid from Him out of the billions of those who have lived, are living and are still to be born. When we dwell in the uttermost parts of this world, He is there with us (Ps 139:9,10). To ever think He has forgotten you is a trick of the enemy just because we "feel" like He is not present with us does not mean He is not present with us. These are the times we need to put our faith in what we know and read about Him and not come to believe just because we feel His presence, but we NEED to know He loves us and is ever so present with us. This is where we need to rise up above our fickle feelings and BELIEVE He loves us and cares for us and to ever stop being lead by our feelings. Just because we don't feel like He is amazing has nothing to do with the reality that He truly is AMAZING!! When we stop and consider how fearfully and wonderfully we are made, that in itself should amaze us. Even back thousands of years ago, David Himself remarked about this (Ps 139:13,14). How much more that when we find out more about the human body should we should make this same remark ever so much more. When we think how the brain is formed and how it is made, it is amazing to know that our God is an amazing intelligent designer beyond human understanding. I did some searching lately in the internet about how the brain is formed. It makes up around 10 billion neurons, electrical impulses that directs how our bodies react. The brain alone is the most amazing complex information management system in the universe that only takes up the top portion inside our head! That alone should amaze us about God who is the One who designed all of this when He formed us in our mothers womb (Jer 1:5) (Ps 139:15,16). To think of how He knew us before we were born indicates only one more of multiple billions of examples to indicate how amazing our God really is. Even all the languages in this world, God knows each one!!
When we take a moment each day, everything we see, everything we do, what we eat and what we have, it is utmost essential that we should take moments of each day to consider God and acknowledge how amazing He truly is. I find familiarity and commonality are some of the most dangerous mindsets we can allow ourselves to become because this is where our minds grow dim and our hearts become dull of the reality of how awesome our God really is. We lose vital sight of how fully dependant we truly are for God to sustain us in every moment and every breath we take in our entire lives. We need to understand that if He were to turn His back on us for a very short moment, we would no longer be alive to tell of it. This makes me realize in a truthful profound way that He truly is amazingly merciful towards us and so long-suffering. This no longer just becomes some vocabulary we say, but when we stop to think of these things, it becomes so real. Just like when His Word becomes a Rhema Word which is "Revelation" to our spirit. When I consider these things, I find it very scary when we become so familiar in our surroundings, that we forget the One who gives us life in such great magnificent detail, with such loving care simply because we don't bother to take even a few minutes of our time to acknowledge His greatness in every facet of our lives.
Another thing I find fascinating that God has accomplished far more than all the millions upon billions of published volumes of books, the world could not contain or have room for the books that would be written (John 21:25). I truly believe that if I could write a Blog everyday just by mentioning every amazing thing about God, I don't think I could ever cover everything about His amazing attributes during my entire life. Everything that man is able to do is because God enabled every man to have every skill set in the first place. Consider right from the beginning of time, the Bible doesn't speak about people living in caves (like the evolutionists like to advise), but even Cain, who was one of the firstborn had built a city (Gen 4:17). This is the theory of evolution when you think that man lived in caves like neanderthal apes. It's disgusting to me to believe in evolution rather than seeing ourselves created by an awesome designer that only God could ever create. To me, there is no way any man could do that if it weren't for the awesome power of God to give man the amazing ability to build a city. Where would he have gotten the education to do such a task? To marvel at what man can create is simply because God has given that wonderful ability to each one in the first place in everything imaginable. God told Noah exactly how to build the ark in every detail to satisfy every living creature with Noah and his family. Even to think of how God was able to direct two animals (male/female) alone to come to the ark is amazing. The ark was build right to the exact measurement in every detail directed by our awesome God.
As you can see, these examples are barely a shaving of ice off a huge iceberg to describe of how awesome our God really is. Therefore, I find it most essential if we would just spend a few minutes throughout each day and see how the mighty hand of God has blessed us in so much detail of life. Even if we spent every minute for our entire lives, we could never cover every detail of life and how He sustains our lives, protects our lives, blesses our lives in such detail while holding every order of life and all creation in the universe by the power of His Word. When I think of these things more and more, I cannot but agree with David when he says of God "Your infinite knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high above me. I cannot reach it". (Ps 139:6). Truly, His awesome ways are hid from our hearts when we fail to give time to be still and know that He is an awesome God (Ps 46:10). When we take time to see how awesome our God is and coming to know the truth to reverently fear Him, this is where we begin to attain wisdom (Prov 1:7) simply because our eyes and heart are open to receive understanding of the truth of how awesome He truly is. Who in their right mind does not want to receive true wisdom that comes from on High?
If any of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask of the "giving God" who gives liberally and ungrudgingly, without reproaching or fault-finding, and it will be given him (James 1:5)
