"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Matthew 6:33 |
Today in devotion we will look at how God is infinite. This journey has been such a blessing to me and I hope that as you delve into today's passsages your understanding of God increases. So let's get into it. When you see the word infinite what do you think? I think of a number that never ends. But in the scope of our creator, we have to see infinity not only in the fact that he and his love never ends, but also in the context that everything came from him. Everything began from the spoken word of God. The stars, light, darkness, time, you and I are all products of his work. However, in acknowledging God's creation we have to be careful not to make him the things we see. We can't say the statement God is everything without discounting his infinity. If we turn the stars into God and vice versa, God becomes equal with his creation. God is not equal to the things he has made. In fact, he has no equivalent at all. Today's exploration of God's infinity should help us see that he alone sits above it all! A resource that I have used in preparing for this week from The Parent Company explores God's infinity and says it very well. "Only God is to be worshipped, for He created all things in His infinite power with His infinite wisdom." The article gave some great references that helped me recognize the infinite God we serve. My favorite is from 1 Kings. King Solomon was on the precipice of building a temple for God. As he worked to provide a holy place for God to dwell, Solomon was met with a deeper understanding of God. He dedicated the temple to God in his prayer. ““But will God really dwell on earth? The heavens, even the highest heaven, cannot contain you. How much less this temple I have built" 1 Kings 8:27 NIV God can't be contained, neither by time, space, or our present day constraints. Yet, this infinite God still steps into each of our personal lives. He shows his enduring love. He carries his mercy from generation to generation. God isn't stuck to our churches nor to our holy places. He is with us at all times and at the same time still above our understanding. We get to serve this God. We get to call him Adonai or Master. The word Adonai sets God as our Lord. The Parent Company details the word in another article exploring Names of God. "Adonai is translated Lord in the Bible. It signifies ownership or mastership and indicates the truth that God is the owner of each member of the human family, and that He consequently claims the unrestricted obedience of all." When we specify that God is not "everything" but that he is above everything, we begin to better call him Adonai. Our lips utter "Oh Lord!" with more fervor because our hearts are more subject and our minds have a deeper understanding of God.
