Let’s look at three this morning and determine if we are even close to capturing what God encompasses.
God is infinite. God is self-sufficient. And, finally, God is immutable. (He doesn’t change)
So, if God is all these things (which, you know, He is) then how are we to relate, when we are so not these things?
We are not infinite, but very finite and subject to accidents and disease. We have a very limited shelf life but are promised the infinite that God has if we treasure this gift to Himself He has given.
We are not self-sufficient, but rather very dependent on circumstances, weather, mood, health, monetary circumstances and other factors that make us very dependent on other people, and God Himself.
We are certainly not immutable. We change our opinion so as to fit the room, or we stubbornly hold on to an opinion that makes us look ridiculous because of its antiquity. Not that old ideas are not of value but some aren’t. Le,, the world is flat.
So, let’s determine to see if we can relate to a God who is all of these things and can still be a factor, or rather the factor in how we live our lives, and what a comfort these things should be.
Infinitely yours,
Pastor Brent
