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.
