The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.
Isaiah 40:28
God is HUGE! He is unfathomable! He is everlasting! He is infinite! Our minds can’t grasp how amazing He actually is!
Since being home I’ve had many people ask me questions about God that I can’t answer. Really good questions. Questions worth asking and praying about. I’ve taken time to study some of these questions and pray into them. This is the first time in my life I can say that I’m glad I don’t know the answers.
Not too long ago I wanted to know ALL of the answers and if I didn’t understand every little detail, it would decrease my faith. Little by little this was jeopardizing my relationship with God and I didn’t even realize it.
I was trying to understand everything in order to have faith. That is not faith at all. Hebrew 11:3 says “It is by faith that we understand…” not the other way around.
I believe the reason God designed it this way is because He is so big and our minds are so small that we will never understand everything about Him and His glory. When we barley scratch the surface, He leaves us in amazement.
Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, or with the breadth of his hand marked off the heavens?
Isaiah 40:12
I am not going to let my lack of understanding an amazing God that can measure the whole universe with the width of His hand, decrease my faith. The fact that I have numerous unanswered questions about how God runs this universe, by no means is stopping me from digging deeper with my creator. This is only motivation for me to always want more. We will never reach a ceiling with God! That’s exciting to me. He will always take us from strength to strength and from glory to glory.
If you don’t understand everything don’t feel bad, nobody else does either. But keep digging! Whether we understand or not, whether we believe or not, that doesn’t take away the fact that God is real and He is alive!
I am so happy to be home. I’m thankful for my friends and family that have been so supportive. I am thankful that God is continuing to pull me closer to Him no matter what season I am in. I am so thankful that I have the opportunity to go back to Guatemala and do what I love to do. I am so thankful for an immense God; an unfathomable God but still a God that hears me and knows me better than I know myself. I’m thankful for a Father that always wants the best for me. I am so thankful!
