"...Our Redeemer from Everlasting is Your name." - Isaiah 63:16
"Your throne is established from of old; You are from everlasting." - Psalm 93:2
"Great is our God, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite." - Psalm 147:5
A few Sundays ago, my pastor, Troy Warner, was sharing on the attributes of God and one attribute struck an incredible chord with me: that God is infinite.
Now I knew that God is infinite but have you ever took time to allow that truth to hit your heart? For with our God who is infinite, He never runs out of anything! In Him is infinite mercy, infinite wisdom, infinite grace, infinite love, infinite power. He'll never be too tired to do something for you or too weak to help you out. You'll never come to Him in repentance for messing up yet again today and find that His mercy has run out for you. You don't have to treat prayer like a bartering system, wondering whether you should ask for this small request because you may need His help for a much bigger project/healing/help later and would hate to use up your "account" with Him. He. Is. Infinite!
Along those lines of thinking too, we must remember that He is far past our understanding. Any theology or thinking about Him that tries to contain Him in a box that makes Him easy to understand is one that doesn't do Him justice. Our finite minds just can't comprehend His fullness. We understand the attributes of God and His nature through Jesus, but we can never fully comprehend the way He works. Am I glad I can't fully pin Him down? Yes, because anything less makes Him nothing more than a god I created on my own.
So next time you begin to wonder if He is through with you, remember He is infinite. Next time you start to wonder if you should even pray, remember He is infinite. Next time you are in despair and depression, remember He is infinite.
Dwell on His infiniteness and let yourself be utterly amazed at His awesomeness drawing you into a time of worship and thanksgiving!
For more on this, do a search through your Bible on the words "everlasting" or "infinite" and dwell on them.
