When I look out in the morning I see the ocean. Sometimes I glimpse the huge container ships, small motor boats, the shrimp boats. Sometimes I can see the dolphins playing close by the shore. I can see the rolling waves and the low hanging clouds.
When I look out after darkness has closed in I cannot see anything at all.
Daniel 2:22 states, "God knows what is in the darkness." He knows what I cannot know. He knows what is present in the darkness and He also knows what is hidden beneath the sea.
God is Absolute - complete - perfect - not limited in any way
This is a good illustration of the differencce between God and man. We, the created are limited in what we can know, see, and do. God has no limitations. He knows everything, He sees everthing, and He can do everything.
Job 42:2 from yesterday's writing: "God can do all things and no purpose of His can be thwarted."
This is why we can trust Him uneqivically.
Psalm 145:13 "God's kingdom is everlasting and His dominion endures throughout all generations."
Our lifespan is limited to a few short years. "God's kingdom and dominion are everlasting."
In Isaiah 44:6 God tells us, "There is no God besides Me."
There's only one God, friends, and He is the One who has revealed Himself in His word.
Daniel 2:22 says, "It is God who reveals the hidden and profound things."
These mysteries are revealed in God's word and He will reveal them to us if we take the time to seek Him through faith. The Bible contains all of the "hidden and profound things" that make the frequently asked questions of "who are we?" and "why are we here?" understanable.
1 Timothy 6:16 "God alone possesses immortality and dwells in unapproachable light whom no man has seen or can see."
God is much more than man can comprehend. Let us the created stand in awe!!!
