Can't Figure Him Out

The Psalmist of Psalm 8 gushes at the glory and excellence of God. He’s blown away by a God he can’t figure out. What? How? These questions continuously swirl around heaven’s God. Man will never capture a full conception of God.

The mystery magnifies his greatness. I mean, who wants a God who can be figured out? Who wants a God who can be demoted to syllogisms and arguments—a God on paper? The God of heaven baffles the mind and leaves the seeker seeking. He drops jaws and defies figures. He is there but he is here.

The God that cannot be fully comprehended and explained hasn’t left it all to obscurity. His love for man resists questioning. He left no doubt. God’s love for humanity is as great as the quest to understand him.

O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth!
