Unfathomable!

Unfathomable!

Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding. Isaiah 40:28 NLT

I wonder if you have ever asked these same questions in our extract today. Have you looked at the crises in the world and wondered if indeed there is a God working in the affairs of men? Have you looked at the pain, sickness and death in the world and asked why a loving God would allow such things to happen?

Unfortunately for us, we are limited in knowledge, understanding, depth, insight and scope. We can only see as far as our physical eyes can see, and even that too is limited. We judge based on what our limited eyes, ears and mind can fathom, and we think that we can reduce God to the same level. What today's extract shows is that God is beyond what you and I can claim to fully understand or explain. First of all, he is the everlasting God- he has been around long before the world became like this, and he is still around, working out his best in our lives. His work may not always be evident but there is no doubt that he is always there.

Secondly, he is the Creator of the earth. How do you wonder that a God who could create something as complex and wonderful as this would not have the capacity to take care of it? How do you wonder that God, as mighty as he is, would create something and give up on it? He is still the One at work, doing great things, even in the midst of all the pain and problems the world is facing right now.

Man is the one who complains about being tired or weary. Like as been established, God has been at work long before the world was ever thought of, and long after what we think we know now will cease to exist, God will still be God. He does not grow tired or weary, and you can never ever understand how he works. You can only trust that he is powerful enough to bring to pass all that he has promised and he is able to do exceeding abundantly above all our human minds can think of or fathom.
