My devotions this morning, and everything else I’ve read today, sent my mind scampering all over the place as I thought about God and God’s ability not to be grasped and pulled down to my lofty ideas of who God is.
That may sound a little strange but not really. Just as God refused to be confined in the mind of thinkers in Biblical days, God still refuses to be confined in the minds of thinkers today. And we thinkers often, usually unknowingly, try to pin God down to how we understand him. In all reality pinning God down to our thinking is a lesson in futility.
Anyway, as my mind was running all over the place, as my mind was trying to capture God’s presence…in the quiet of the morning what came to my mind were words of the Psalmist whose mind was pretty much in the same place mine was this morning:
“Be still and know that I am God…”
Psalm 46:10
Ever feel reprimanded by God?
There are times when the highest views of God are brought down to the simplicity of God. Since most of our God encounters are found in everyday life, God seems to suggest that we look for him there.
Peace
Jim
