Our Extraordinary God!

How can I ever feel I fully understand God?

He is so big, so immense & His plans are so much greater and more far-reaching than I could imagine. Reading Romans 11 this morning really makes me stop and think hard about the saving power of Jesus, and God's ultimate plan for salvation of both Jews and Gentiles. In the prodigious chapter of Isaiah 55, verse 10, 11 say "For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and do not return there, but water the earth and make it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it." (NKJV) Everything God does has purpose. Everything He says takes root and grows.

I am in awe of the grace of God & His incredible plan of salvation. I am motivated and compelled to seek Him more fully and to share that love with others. And I am more convinced than ever that God has a pwerfect plan for all of our lives. As it says in Jeremiah 29:13, "...and you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart." (NKJV)

His plan will be accomplished, but that is no excuse for us to sit back and do nothing. No rather, it is fuel for us to fan the flame of the Holy Spirit within us and sieze each day to accomplish His full will and purpose! Let us not miss moments. Let us not miss days. Let us not overlook an opportunity to glorify our unsearchable, magnificent God.

Romans 11:33-36 (NLT)
"Oh how great are God's riches and wisdome adn knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand his decision and his ways! For who can know the Lord's thoughts? Who knows enough to give Him advice? And who has given Him so much that He needs to pay it back? For everything comes from Him and exists by His power and is intended for His glory. All glory ot Him forever! Amen."
