God’s Bigness (Part 5 of 6)




As I write this portion of the blog, I am listening to the song More Than Wonderful.  How fitting! Towards the end of the book of Job, God speaks of His own bigness.  One would think that Job ‘s friends and especially Job had a great view of just how big God is, but God reveals to them just how much bigger He is than they had imagined.  Consider what God says about Himself by the questions He asks Job:  38:4-11
“Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?
Tell me, if you have understanding.
 Who determined its measurements—surely you know!
Or who stretched the line upon it?
 On what were its bases sunk,
or who laid its cornerstone,
 when the morning stars sang together
and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
 “Or who shut in the sea with doors
when it burst out from the womb,
 when I made clouds its garment
and thick darkness its swaddling band,
 and prescribed limits for it
and set bars and doors,
 and said, ‘Thus far shall you come, and no farther,
and here shall your proud waves be stayed’
This is just a taste of what God says about Himself .  He does not need a book, a satellite or a doctorate in physics to know these things.  He has all the knowledge He will ever have or need.  He cannot get any more intelligent or wise.  He is incomprehensible, yet He has given us a lifetime to experience Him, a lifetime to only begin to comprehend Him.  Just think of what Heaven will be.
