About God

"God is not what you imagine or what you think you understand. If you understand you have failed." St. Augustine

That is something I truly believe. I believe God has revealed to mankind through His word what we should know about Him, but for any man to state that he knows all there is to know about God, he has missed the mark.

We know what He can do – create a universe simply by speaking it into existence. The power of His voice is beyond our comprehension.

We know what He can love – to the extent that He gave Himself for the salvation of mankind. The power of His love is beyond our comprehension.

We know that He controls time – He not only knows what will happen, He is, was and forever will be. The power of His knowledge is beyond our comprehension.

It is difficult for some people to acknowledge the existence of the unexplained. To accept within themselves a lack of comprehension, a lack of knowledge, to know some things simply are not logical. To them, if there is a god, that god could be understood, just as any other knowledge can be gained or problem solved or experiment can be proven.

This is just another validation of there is no new thing under the sun. (Ecclesiastes 1:9 KJV) It has always been thus, His created preferring to be as important as God. Or important enough to replace Him.

Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God: (Ezekiel 28:2 KJV)

Thank you, but no thanks. I can wait in full knowledge that For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. (1 Corinthians 13:12 KJV)

David explains well to Solomon:

And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever. (1 Chronicles 28:9 KJV)

Seek or forsake. The choice is ours.
