John 21:24<\/b>\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0This is the disciple who is bearing witness about these things, and who has written these things, and we know that his testimony is true.\u00a0Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.<\/p>\n

John 20:30<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book;\u00a0\u00a0but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.<\/p>\n

Job 26:14<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways, and how small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?\u201d<\/p>\n

Psalms 40:5<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0You have multiplied, O LORD my God, your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us; none can compare with you! I will proclaim and tell of them, yet they are more than can be told.<\/p>\n

Psalms 71:15<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0My mouth will tell of your righteous acts, of your deeds of salvation all the day, for their number is past my knowledge.<\/p>\n

Hebrews 11:32<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0And what more shall I say? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets\u2014<\/p>\n

Job 11:7-9<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 <\/b>\u201cCan you find out the deep things of God? Can you find out the limit of the Almighty?\u00a0\u00a0It is higher than heaven\u2014what can you do? Deeper than Sheol\u2014what can you know?\u00a0\u00a0Its measure is longer than the earth and broader than the sea.<\/p>\n

Psalms 139:6<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it.<\/p>\n

Psalms 145:3<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, and his greatness is unsearchable.<\/p>\n

Isaiah 40:26<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable.\u00a0\u00a0He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength.<\/p>\n

Romans 11:33<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!<\/p>\n

1 Corinthians 13:9<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0For we know in part and we prophesy in part,\u00a0\u00a0but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.\u00a0\u00a0When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways.\u00a0\u00a0For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.<\/p>\n

All of these scriptures reflect a common theme, the greatness of God and our inability to understand the depth and width and height of it. \u00a0I like the hyperbole in John, Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written<\/em>“. \u00a0Just because we can not fully understand it doesn’t mean we can’t think about it. \u00a0In fact it is good for us to think about it. \u00a0Trying to understand and know God is good for our heart, mind, and soul. \u00a0Meditating individually on His love, mercy, grace, power, strength, might, wisdom will flood our minds with unsearchable truths and build our faith in how limitless God is. \u00a0He knows all, He is all powerful, and by His word alone all there is was created. \u00a0He knows our thoughts and intents. \u00a0He knows the beginning from the end. \u00a0He is full of steadfast love. \u00a0This love has been shown many times in many ways but the one that demonstrates it fully is through the sacrifice of His Son for the redemption of everyone who believes and the promise of eternal life with Him, forever and ever. \u00a0God is not limited or confined to what we can understand and know about Him. \u00a0Paul said this in Ephesians;\u00a0Now<\/a> to Him who<\/a> is able<\/a> to do<\/a> infinitely<\/a> more than<\/a> all<\/a> we ask<\/a> or<\/a> imagine,<\/a> according to<\/a> His<\/a> power<\/a> that<\/a> is at work<\/a> within<\/a><\/span><\/em> us,<\/a><\/span><\/span>\u00a0 and this is the stumbling block to many. \u00a0They just do not see God as God. \u00a0They do not believe in His grace, mercy, power and love. \u00a0They even might be at a point in their life where they say there is no way God can forgive me and all the things I have done. \u00a0God is not limited by what we think. \u00a0His word comes with promises of forgiveness, If<\/a> we confess<\/a> our<\/a> sins,<\/a> He is<\/a> faithful<\/a> and<\/a> just<\/a> to<\/a>\u00a0forgive<\/a> us<\/a> our<\/a> sins<\/a> and<\/a> to cleanse<\/a> us<\/a> from<\/a> all<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span>unrighteousness<\/span><\/em><\/span>.<\/a>\u00a0 There is no end to what He can do. \u00a0Do you want to know heart, mind, and soul deep cleansing of sin? \u00a0Come to Him who is able to cleanse us whiter than snow. \u00a0Come to Him who stands at your heart door and is wanting to come in and make you whole, forgiven, and forever with Him throughout eternity. \u00a0The other option is to reject Him and His offer of forgiveness which leads to a life on earth without purpose or true hope, joy, peace, and love. \u00a0Out of all of the decisions made in life there is no other that has eternal consequences so wonderful or so terrible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
