In Jeremiah 33:3 we are encouraged,
"Call unto me, and I will
answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest
not."
I don't know about all of you, but
there are still a few things that I don't know that I need God to show me. This
is true for all of us, isn't it? No matter our experience, age, or background, there is always more for us to learn.
Job 11:7-10 says, “Canst thou by
searching find out God? Canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection? It is
as high as heaven; what canst thou do? Deeper than hell; what canst thou know?
The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea. If he
cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him?”
God
is so infinitely beyond our human understanding, it’s hard to imagine. In fact,
we can’t imagine how great He is! Inspiration tells us, “The mightiest
intellects of earth cannot comprehend God. Men may be ever searching, ever
learning, and still there is an infinity beyond.” Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 116
And yet we are told: “Keep
your wants, your joys, your sorrows, your cares, and your fears before God. You
cannot burden Him; you cannot weary Him. He who numbers the hairs of your head
is not indifferent to the wants of His children. “The Lord is very pitiful, and
of tender mercy” (James 5:11). His heart of love is touched by our sorrows and
even by our utterances of them. Take to Him everything that perplexes the mind.
Nothing is too great for Him to bear, for He holds up worlds. He rules over the
affairs of the universe. Nothing that in any way concerns our peace is too
small for Him to notice… The relation between God and each soul are as distinct
and full as though there were not another soul upon the earth to share His
watch care, not another soul for whom He gave His beloved Son.” Steps to Christ, p. 100
What a great God we serve, that is infinitely bigger than our largest thoughts, and yet so intimate that He cares about every detail of our lives!
