Fresh look

I'm so glad when I get a fresh look at something..a new perspective. I recently bought "The Message" Bible to add to my collection of other versions. I'm studying the book of Isaiah. I was actually focused on a different subject when this verse struck me....

" So to whom will you compare me, the Incomparable? Can you picture me without reducing me?" (Isaiah 46:5)

It made me think. Really think. Can I really picture God without reducing Him? My vision is limited to this earth. I can't really comprehend how vast, how amazing, how wonderful He is. I find it hard to wrap my mind around this idea that MY God is the same one who hung the stars in place. MY God is the one who knows everything that has been and all that is to come. MY God is He who is everywhere....EVERYWHERE! It boggles my mind to think of it all.

I pray that I am able remember all that the scriptures tell me about God. I want to know Him in every way. I want Him to reveal Himself to me in every circumstance. I want to picture Him without reducing Him to the human level. Help me do that Lord.
