Behold, God is great, and we know Him not.
—Job 36:26
Touching the Almighty, we cannot find Him out: He is excellent in power.
—Job 37:23
This attribute of God, as a Spirit whose being and glory are entirely beyond our power of comprehension, is one that we ponder all too little. And yet in the spiritual life, it is of the utmost importance to feel deeply that, as the heavens are high above the earth, so God’s thoughts and ways are infinitely exalted beyond all our thoughts. (See Isaiah 55:9.)
It is only right that we look up to God with deep humility and holy reverence, and then with childlike simplicity yield ourselves to the teaching of His Holy Spirit. “O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out!” (Romans 11:33).
Let our hearts respond, “O Lord, O God of gods, how wonderful You are in all Your thoughts, and how deep in Your purposes!” The study of what God is should always fill us with holy awe, and the sacred longing to know and honor Him rightly.
Just think—
His greatness… Incomprehensible
His might… Incomprehensible
His omnipresence… Incomprehensible
His wisdom… Incomprehensible
His holiness… Incomprehensible
His mercy… Incomprehensible
His love… Incomprehensible
As we worship, let us cry out, “What an inconceivable glory is in this great Being who is my God and Father!” Confess with shame how little you have sought to know Him fully or to wait upon Him to reveal Himself. Begin in faith to trust that, in a way passing all understanding, this incomprehensible and all‑glorious God will work in your heart and life and allow you, in ever growing measure, to know Him fully.
“Mine eyes are unto Thee, O GOD the Lord: in Thee is my trust” (Psalm 141:8).
“Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10).
