The Enormity Of The Reality of God

Job 11:7-9

Can you fathom the mysteries of God? Can you probe the limits of the Almighty? They are higher than the heavens above--what can you do? They are deeper than the depths below--what can you know? Their measure is longer than the earth and wider than the sea.

Job's friend Zophar states here the enormity of the reality of God. Even though some of what Job's friends stated to him, he recognized as lies and deceit about himself and about God (that's why God told him to pray for them), what God allowed to be recorded here excluded the untruthful comments, because He is the God of Truth and this is His Word. So we need not be judges of the Word to determine what we think is true or not. And we see here that God is unfathomable to our human minds, He is far beyond what our minds can conceive.

O my Father, thank you so much that You are God, not us, and that we can trust Your Word to always be True. Grant us please the discernment to understand what You are telling us, and the wisdom to know what to do and how to do Your will, to further Your plans and accomplish Your purposes in Your time. 

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
