How
precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them! Were
I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand— when I awake, I am
still with you. (Psalm 139:17-18 NIV)
We cannot comprehend the vastness of the
heavens. There are too many stars, too
many celestial bodies and too many mysteries yet to be discovered. We cannot fully appreciate words like omnipresence
and omniscience which attempt to express the vastness and complexity of God’s
knowledge and constant presence. Those
words are seldom used because we cannot understand how God can be ever present
and know all there is to know. It is
simply too much for us and the words to describe the Almighty God are mostly left
unused.
In
spite of not being able to comprehend, understand, evaluate or much less even
be able to list in any numeric way the thoughts about God… we find Him near
us. If we stop to reflect on His
nearness and intimacy to us, we are again left with the incomprehensible and
overwhelming. We cannot count the grains of sand but we know the warmth and joy
it beings to just walk in it. We cannot
fathom the thoughts of the all-knowing and ever present God but how precious and
warm are the days when we walk with Him. srm
“And
even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are
worth more than many sparrows. (Matthew
10:30 NIV)
