Understanding the Inconceivable Mysteries of Almighty God

Job 11:7
“Can you fathom the mysteries of God?  Can you probe the limits of the Almighty?

As human beings, we have all been given some level of learning, understanding, wisdom and insight. But is it possible for us to know God fully?  Is it possible for us to understand the riches and inconceivable perfection of Almighty God?  Is it possible for us to grasp the mind of the Lord?

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 Word and through the indwelling of the 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 prepare ourselves through the reading and study of the Bible.  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 so that He can reveal all of His mysteries to us.

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 study Your Holy Word and to commune with You each day.  Lord, may we learn to delight in Your Word and delight in Your presence.  We ask that through Your Holy Spirit that we learn how to experience the revelations of who You are.  Through Your grace, may we begin to understand all of Your wonderful mysteries.  We pray these things in the name of the living revelation of Your Word, Jesus Christ.
