Two Things I Find Utterly Fascinating About Our God

I just finished up some reading for my classes, and I've just been praying a little bit and being still as my gorgeous wife lays resting on our couch. 

Here are two things—out of a myriad of truths that my human mind cannot begin to grasp—that just blow me away when I think about our incredible God:

1. God is a Trinity. He is one essence, but (somehow) three persons. Our God is bigger than any other god, or actually, than any other portrayal or possibility of deity from any people group, from any time. God can die a propitiatory death and still be seated on His throne above, he can burn with just wrath, and bring grace through mercy. Not only is He rightly seated on His heavenly throne, but He is also present in the hearts of the saints... ministering, teaching, leading, filling, loving, changing, sanctifying, encouraging, directing, shepherding.

2. God can speak, and things come into existence.  Let me repeat: God can speak, and things come into existence. God has power I cannot fathom. Thus, He has glory that I arrogantly reject and fail to praise. God can speak... and things come into existence. All He does is say words. How big, and how wonderful, and how mysterious, and how beautiful is our God?

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;

Praise Him, all creatures here below;

Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;

Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. 

Amen.

The host of heaven:

"...day and night they never cease to say,

'Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord

God Almighty,

who was and is and is to come!' "

Revelation 4:8
