Father, I have to trust that You will accomplish what You desire with what I post each day. I would pray that whoever needs to read it will be drawn by Your Spirit to do so. May my offering to You be used however You see fit. Amen.
Revelation 4:1-6 (<<click here to read the passage)
What the Apostle John witnessed must have been absolutely, overwhelmingly stunning! Holy Spirit, You helped him write, but I would imagine that his mind must have been reeling with images for which he felt there were no words. “Gemstones,” and “lightning,” and “a shiny sea of glass” communicated what he saw as clearly as he could. I am sure that when I see these indescribable things, I will be impressed that John could describe them at all!
Lord, as human beings, we feel we have to be able to understand and explain everything. We are frustrated when we can’t. I truly believe that that is why some will not believe in You, for You cannot be fully understood or explained. We cannot fit You into molds of our own making. You are greater and more powerful than our human minds can comprehend.
This malady is what holds so many back as well. We don’t impact Your world as we should because we believe we have forced You into our own molds, and, in so doing, we have a limited concept of You. It is small and relatively powerless. How far from the truth!
Lord, may we not shy away from embracing You for who You are. Yes, You are too awesome for us to fully understand, but may we let it all envelop us. May we be carried away by the immensity of it all, safe and secure in Your mighty arms – knowing that in spite of our lack of comprehension, You know us in spite of our smallness and frailty. May Your awesomeness inspire us to do great things for You – in Your time frame and in Your strength and wisdom. I pray that You would give us the words we need to describe the indescribable. Amen.
