He Delights In Surprising Us

God

Though I have walked with God for several decades, I must confess I still find much about Him incomprehensible and mysterious. But this much I know: He delights in surprising us. He dots our pilgrimage from earth to heaven with amazing serendipities.

Pastor: What are you teaching your people about God?

God

History will probably show that no people has ever risen about its religion, and man’s spiritual history positively demonstrates that no religion has ever been greater than its idea of God. For this reason the most portentous fact about any person is not what he at a given time may say or do, but what he in his deep heart conceives God to be like….We do the greatest service to the next generation of Christians by passing on to them undimmed and undiminished that noble concept of God which we received from our Hebrew and Christian fathers of generations past. This will prove of greater value to them than anything that art or science can devise.

How do we stop God?

God

How do we stop God? There is no wall which can keep Him out. No ocean is too wide for Him to cross. No mountain is too high, no dungeon or pit too deep. None of us are so hopeless that God cannot reach through and restore. We have a great God. His greatness is not hindered or lessened by any circumstance, whether real or imaginary, which we might face. His power is not neutralized by the state of the economy. His might cannot be imitated or re-created by puny human ingenuity. He is without equal.

Trying To Put An Infinite God Into A Finite Mind

Augustine, while puzzling over the doctrine of the Trinity, was walking along the beach one day when he observed a young boy with a bucket, running back and forth to pour water into a little hole.

Augustine asked, “What are you doing?” The boy replied, “I’m
trying to put the ocean into this hole.”

Then Augustine realized that he had been trying to put an infinite God into his finite mind.
