Holy, Holy, Holy

There are many unspeakable and utterly indescribable mysteries in God. God is too far beyond us to really remain anything but a mystery. Yet we can know Him through the truths He has revealed in creation, in His Word, and through Jesus an...d the Holy Spirit within us.

Many of these mysteries have been named: Trinity... God's omniscience... omnipresence... omnipotence... His unchanging nature... But just because we have named it does not mean we have grasped it. And just because we cannot explain or understand something about God does not mean it isn't true.

We have put God in the box of our own pat answers and tidy theology so much that we have lost our wonder. We want to grasp God, because to understand Him is to be able to predict (or even control) Him. But instead of trying to grasp God, we are meant to worship Him. And academic study does not bring us to an encounter with the Living God or His promises. Worshiping Him in His undiminished glory and holiness does.

 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness

 

Psalm 29:2
