Indescribable God

Psalm 8

How majestic is Your name in all the earth,
Who have displayed Your splendor above the heavens!
2From the mouth of infants and nursing babes You have established strength
Because of Your adversaries,
To make the enemy and the revengeful cease.
3When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have ordained;
4What is man that You take thought of him,
And the son of man that You care for him?
5Yet You have made him a little lower than God,
And You crown him with glory and majesty!
6You make him to rule over the works of Your hands;
You have put all things under his feet,
7All sheep and oxen,
And also the beasts of the field,
8The birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea,
Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
9O LORD, our Lord,
How majestic is Your name in all the earth!

Psalm 66

2Sing the glory of His name;
Make His praise glorious.
3Say to God, "How awesome are Your works!
Because of the greatness of Your power Your enemies will give feigned obedience to You.
4"All the earth will worship You,
And will sing praises to You;
They will sing praises to Your name." Selah.
5Come and see the works of God,
Who is awesome in His deeds toward the sons of men.

Job 38

12"Have you ever in your life commanded the morning, And caused the dawn to know its place,
13That it might take hold of the ends of the earth,
And the wicked be shaken out of it?
14"It is changed like clay under the seal; And they stand forth like a garment.
15"From the wicked their light is withheld, And the uplifted arm is broken.
16"Have you entered into the springs of the sea Or walked in the recesses of the deep?
17"Have the gates of death been revealed to you, Or have you seen the gates of deep darkness?
18"Have you understood the expanse of the earth? Tell Me, if you know all this.
19"Where is the way to the dwelling of light? And darkness, where is its place,
20That you may take it to its territory And that you may discern the paths to its home? Our God is indescribable! He is beyond all that we can ever dream or imagine.

“I can understand how a man can look on the world and be atheist; but I cannot understand how a man can look up to the heavens and say there is no God.” Abraham Lincoln

I can’t comprehend how some people say that God is dead! God is not by any means dead! We are dead!! And in our deadness we have become unable to see Him. He is still there and He is moving in our nation and world. It takes a blind man not to see. But then again, the Bible does prophesy this very thing:

Matthew 13:14

“In their case the prophecy of Isaiah is being fulfilled, which says,
'YOU WILL KEEP ON HEARING, BUT WILL NOT UNDERSTAND;
YOU WILL KEEP ON SEEING, BUT WILL NOT PERCEIVE;”

I thank God every day that He allowed me to see!

I am so glad that God is bigger than my troubles and failures! So much bigger! I hope that by the time you finish reading this post you will have been reminded just HOW big God is! We are so small (I mean, really, really, really, really small) in the bigger picture which is the universe and all that is in it-- which, btw, God made.

I’m going to share some pictures with you… Be ready to be blown away! (pictures found at Hubble Telescope Pictures)

THE MILKY WAY GALAXY
This is our galaxy. And that little arrow is pointing to the approximate place that our sun is located. It doesn't have a point because there is no point small enough to give even a partially accurate size ratio.

OUR SUN
Okay, if that's how big our sun is in our galaxy then how big does that make the earth?

RED RECTANGULAR NEBULA IN THE MILKY WAY

PHANTOM GALAXY

HOURGLASS NEBULA
He's got all time in His hands, no?

EARTH CAUGHT IN SUNLIGHT
This picture was taken by voyager as it traveled away from Earth. The streaks of light in the picture are a result of the Sun reflecting off of Voyager. That teeny-tiny little dot is us! Wow!!

CAT'S EYE NEBULA

WHIRLPOOL GALAXY

X-SECTOR AT MIDDLE OF WHIRLPOOL GALAXY
This picture deserves a moment of your time. Just look at it and think on this verse...

John 1:1-5
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

YOU MADE IT ALL
by Chris Tomlin

Mountain maker
Ocean tamer
Glimpses of you burn in my eyes
The worship of heaven
Fills up the skies

You made it all
Said let there be
And there was all that we see
The sound of your voice
The works of your hand
You do all things well
You do all things well

Star creator
Wind breather
The strokes of your beauty
Brushed through the clouds
Light from the heavens
Touching the ground

Imagination runs wild
Breathes the breath of life
Across the fields
Across the miles

You made it all
Said let there be
And there was
All that we see
The sound of your voice
The works of your hands
You do all things well
You do all things well
