The Unsearchable Greatness of God

Great is Adonai and greatly to be praised,
and His greatness is unsearchable.  
Psalm 145:3


O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom
and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable are His judgments,
and His ways past finding out!
Romans 11:33

As I was eating dinner, last evening, I said my thanks to God.  Then after I finished my meal, I ate an orange for dessert.  I started thanking God for the orange and a thought struck me.  I was in awe (fear in the western English vernacular) of how amazing and omniscient God really is.  He knew the moment that orange seed went into the earth and a tree begin to form, that on this very night, this very second I would be eating fruit from that tree. Someone in California had planted the seed possibly years ago, but God knew that I would eat the fruit of it. He knew when the tree that would bear the seed of the tree of the fruit and even many generations and eons ago, that I would be sitting this night to eat that orange. When you put that into perspective, there is not one tiny detail God does not orchestrate in your life. 

And yet, He is so great and so magnificent that He knows the very second when the stars in the heaven will be born or die. He sees every particle on every planet in our universe.  When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;  What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? Psalm 8:3-4  When you start to think that your somebody, just remember who God is and you'll remember just how small and humble you really are.
