Amplify God's attributes
What is God? Is God just another being who was the chosen one?
God's riches are great! He owns the entire universe. Every star in space, every galaxy, down to each and every one of us and every atom, proton, and all that chemistry stuff.
He owns the earth, and all in contains. He owns the galaxies are lightyears away. He owns the highest of heavens. Whatever exists, he owns.
And God is able to make something out of nothing. Compared to us, we are incapable of that. We need raw materials. A table for example, we need wood, we need nails, we need tools. At a snap of a finger, God is able to create a table before your very eyes. Pray hard enough and you might see it happen. HAVE FAITH!
Wisdom and knowledge are commonly interchangable in the bible. God has both. He is both knowledgable and wise. What's the use of being the wisest person in the world, yet you're so ill-informed of all current affairs. And what's the use of being the most knowledgable person, yet you do not know how to put that knowledge to GOOD USE.
God knows EVERYTHING.
God knows everything from macro-scale to micro-scale.
He knows how the earth is revolving around the sun. He knows which countries are facing natural disaster. He knows where each and everyone of us are. He knows every electron and it's position at each nano-second.
Not only that, he knows each and everyone of our emotions. What we are going through in life, what problems we are facing. He knows our past, our present and our future. He has a large blueprint right on his desk, planning everything out for us.
I feel that humans are very guilty of a sin we ourselves aren't very aware of.
WE TEND TO ADVICE GOD.
In Romans 11:34, it says, "WHO IS ABLE TO GIVE HIM ADVICE?"
This is a clear cut rhetorical question.
NO ONE is able to give him advice. No one at all.
And most of the time when we pray....
"Hey God, maybe you should have done it this way..."
"Hey God, why didn't you allow what I wanted to happen?"
"Hey God, you should have made ___ appear at (whatever) time!"
We are constanly advicing God. He knows what he has for us. And all he asks for is our FAITH.
Ever seen God calling up one of the lay people asking,
"Eh, now there are terrorists bombings in the middle east countries. How? What should I do?"
God never fails us, and he never will. He created us, he is responsible for us, and he'll give the BEST care anyone can ever give.
Ever wondered why certain things the way they are.. And some questions can just go on and on and on..
You give an answer, the person says. WHY! And you give an answer to that WHY, and he/she asks why again.
I'm confident, that one point or another, ALL questions lead to one answer, and you've guessed it. It's GOD (:
So let us all try to understand God better each and every day of our lives. His riches are so great, his wisdom and knowledge deep.
He has called us to be his disciples and follow him. Follow him and live with him in eternity where we all partake in his everlasting fellowship and love.
Romans 11:33-36.How great are God's riches! How deep are his wisdom and knowledge. Who can
explain his decisions? Who can understand his ways?
As the scripture says, "Who knows the mind of the Lord?
Who is able to give him advice?
Who has ever given him anything, so that he had to pay it back?"
For all things were created by him, and all things exist through him and
for him. To God be the glory forever! Amen.
