I have been thinking recently about God and my desire to know Him more and more. The book that I am reading is called “The Attributes of God” by A.W. Tozer. The very first attribute is the incomprehensible nature of God. He is endless, boundless, and beyond all that we can think of or imagine. Wow. That is such an… incomprehensible thought. C.S. Lewis uses an analogy of a piece of paper. Now, imagine that paper going in all directions forever. That is God – without end. Right in the center of the paper, draw a one inch line. That line represents all of time. God is awesome!
And to think that this incomprehensible God desires, and went to great lengths, to have a relationship with ME! It was not because I am great, it was not because I do good things or wear my hair just right or say the right things, it is because of His desire to relate to me. Wow – how incomprehensible.
My prayer is that I stop trying to comprehend or reduce God down to something that I can grasp but instead, worship Him in His infinite “otherness.”
“You will seek me and you will find me when you seek me with all of your heart.” (Jeremiah 29:13) Imagine that, incomprehensible but still knowable. Amazing…
