Job

Hello all! Seems you are stuck with me again for the blog, can I get a “hurrah!”?
Thanks for your enthusiasm, now let’s get down to business!
So, lately I have been repeatedly hit with the immensity of our Lord’s glory. It’s intense to say the least, but God has been telling me “Yo Micah, you have not even begun to break the surface.” This hit me hard as, just today, I heard a sermon on God’s response to Job. The response begins in Job Ch. 38 and basically goes on until the end of the book. It’s mind blowing as God speaks of all He has done and I encourage you to read the entire response, but I will give you a few verses:
Ch. 28
4 “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?
Tell me, if you understand.
5 Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know!
Who stretched a measuring line across it?
6 On what were its footings set,
or who laid its cornerstone—
7 while the morning stars sang together
and all the angels[a] shouted for joy?
24 What is the way to the place where the lightning is dispersed,
or the place where the east winds are scattered over the earth?
25 Who cuts a channel for the torrents of rain,
and a path for the thunderstorm,
26 to water a land where no one lives,
an uninhabited desert,
27 to satisfy a desolate wasteland
and make it sprout with grass?
Yeah, makes you think he is amazing, doesn’t it? God makes everything happen, period. I know it sounds childish, but God has the whole world in his hands. I am not over-exaggerating when I say that God has EVERYTHING and so much more!!!!!! God chimes in again“Micah, you have not even begun to break the surface” Wait, what? Yeah there’s more. Incomprehensibly amount more.
I am reading a book with some buddies of mine, The Knowledge of The Holy by A. W. Tozer, and the 2nd chapter is titled God Incomprehensible, hit me hard. Tozer points out that God is not of this world, and when we try to think about God we “… tend immediately to reduce God to manageable terms… we want a God we can in some measure control.” I know I have done this, made God smaller then what he really is.
So how do we begin to understand the incomprehensible? Tozer continues and says “… God can be known only as the Holy Spirit performs in the seeking heart an act of self-disclosure.”
And now I land on the shaky at best conclusion after throwing these quotes and such at you; let’s begin to ask the Holy Spirit to open our eyes to the infinite attributes of God! How much more could we glorify God (the chief end of man) if we began to learn more about God?
My prayer is that God begins to work in us to open our eyes to see just how great the god we follow is. A god who calls us sons and daughters.
Sovereign Father, Heavenly King,
Thee we now presume so sing;
Glad thine attributes confess,
Glorious all, and numberless.
Charles Wesley
Have a great week,
Micah Levinson
