Today’s Thought “Paradoxical?” G. Ward

“Am I a God who is near,” declares the Lord, “And not a God far off?  “Can a man hide himself in hiding places so I do not see him?” declares the Lord. “Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?” declares the Lord. Jeremiah 23:23-24

 

There are many experts with varied subject matter that astounds those viewing; and particularly when so very few are enabled in the same. Moreover, the scholarship of man (i.e. when one’s aptitude is with superiority) causes great humility for those like me who may be average in every area of intellect. None however have been able to attain expertise status in Holy God (cf. Mt.24:35). The pursuit in knowing Infinite Wisdom is/has been a life journey. Therefore it’s always troubling to hear those claiming to be HIS own drawing offense from those oppositional to their spiritual positioning (*Mk.6:1-6), particularly due to one’s failure to make HIS greatness known vs. their own authoritative posturing that perceivably shouldn’t be questioned.

Never stop with pursuits in intimacy with our Lord, but more that lends itself unto obeisance; anything less has become the familiarity that breeds contempt.

Happy Monday!
