Understanding the Mysteries of God

Job 11:7

“Can you fathom the mysteries of God?  Can you probe the limits of the Almighty?

All the head knowledge in the world cannot prepare us to fully understand the essence of Almighty God and His plan for the world.  Yet Our Heavenly Father reveals the deepest mysteries to even the most simple minded through His Holy Spirit.  Our challenge is to let go of our reliance on the words of man and grab on to the living words of the Holy Spirit that dwells within us.

Of course, we need to set aside quiet time if we want to hear what God wants to say to us.  We have to find a time and place where we shut out the clamor of the world and just listen.  It can be helpful to open our quiet time with a simple question, "Father, what do you want to say to me today?"  He is waiting for us to welcome Him into our lives.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, we thank You that You are always with us, ever ready to speak to us and ever ready to hear our prayers.  We pray that the Holy Spirit will guide us in finding and setting aside a quiet time and place to commune with You each day.  Lord, may we learn to delight in Your presence and learn how to experience the revelations of who You are and all of Your wonderful mysteries.  We pray these things in the name of Your precious Lamb, Jesus Christ.
