Beyond Comprehension

I love it when the Holy Spirit rearranges the way I think. He takes a truth I have forgotten about God and makes it relevant. It is as if he takes an old book off the shelf, dusts it off, and it's as if I am reading it for the first time. 

The other night I realized I was believing a lie. For some reason I thought I knew all there was to know about God. That I had my portion of him, that I had all that I was going to get of him (as if there was not enough to go around and we were each given a specific amount). 

No! The eyes of my heart were enlightened. I can learn something new everyday about God and never know him completely. 

Then I thought about how people give their lives to be a specialist in a specific field. They give everything they have to be the best and to know the most. Depending on their field they might come to an understanding of all there is to know. 

I WILL NEVER fully know the God of the universe, the creator, the keeper of time, the placer of people. 
There will ALWAYS be something more to discover or an area to grow deeper. 
This is my God. 
Beyond comprehension. Infinitely loving.
Bigger then I expected. 

For some this might be a scary fact. They might ask themselves, "How can I believe in something I cannot completely understand?" I would respond, "I believe in him because he is far beyond my understanding."

Forgive me God for making you small in my eyes. You have yet again, blown up the box I seem to put you in. Thank you. 

This is my prayer for myself and for you!
I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
Ephesians One: Sixteen through Twenty-Three
