Infinite Infinity

Who is God?

Often, we have all the right answers.

At least, we think we do.

But the truth, the key to knowing God, is in fact knowing we cannot know God.

Why?

He is beyond knowing.

He stretches out infinitely in an infinite number of directions.

Imagine. A road stretched out in front of you, on which you can travel for years and still be no further along then when you began.

Now multiply that by infinite number of roads, in an infinite number of directions.

That is God.

And we, regardless of what we may tell ourselves, are finite.

God created us that way on purpose.

Yet, with Jesus' sacrifice, we are infinite in one direction- time.

If we make the choice to accept Jesus' sacrifice, we will forever have the pleasure of exploring and discovering the depths of who God is.

It is through this lens we should view His other attributes:

His holiness. Righteousness. Love. Grace. Humility.

Isn't He beautiful?

I Will Yet Praise Him- A Prayer

God, I praise you, for you are worthy of our praise. You are gracious and merciful, even when we don't deserve it. You are holy and you are just - no wrong will be overlooked; you will right every wrong done against us, and every wrong done by us.

You are righteous - you never maliciously hurt us.

You are loving at your very core, and only make decisions in our best interest. Your decisions are not based on our meeting your needs, for all your needs are met by your own nature. Rather, you choose to meet our needs even when we least deserve it.

You are Creator of this wonderful universe, and you did it for our enjoyment, for you are not simply a practical God, but an extravagant God.

You are gracious, merciful, holy, just. You are righteous, loving, selfless. You are Creator. You are so much more than we could ever imagine, though we have eternity to learn. And because of all this, you are more than worthy of our praise.

This prayer is a sequel to this post.
Have your own prayer of praise you are willing to share? I'd love to hear from you!
