GOD
What is your concept of
God? I am afraid most of us picture God
according to our finite image of Him.
What ever such picture we may have, is not comparable to what He really
is. Eric Sauer had as good a concept as
is humanly possible I suppose. In his
book FROM ETERNITY TO ETERNUITY he wrote the following on page 13: "While as yet no star traversed its
course, no sun threw its flood of light and energy through space, no systems of
stars and suns swept through infinity in mighty curves and uniform relations,
there God was; He the eternal without
beginning, He who is above the whole course of time, He who in harmony beyond
explanation possesses unity and life, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit,
the basis of eternity, the Living One, the only God"
Can we get that? Think of it.
When there was not one man or woman, when there was no earth or any
other planet, when there was no sun nor moon nor star, and when there was not even
space, When there was nothing but
eternity, God inhabited eternity.
Isaiah called Him the
high and lofty One. He is the Holy
Father. No man, Pope included, should be
called the Holy Father. That is a Name
for God. He is the Holy Spirit Who
proceeds from the Father and the Son. He
is the Holy Son in Whom the fullness of the godhead dwells bodily Col. 2:9.
God is at home in Heaven. It is His own creation; yet it cannot contain
Him. In our text He says, “I dwell in the high and holy place,”
God also is at home here own earth with His people. He made the earth also. He humbled Himself to live on earth with His
creatures. In our text He also says, “I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble
spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the
contrite ones.
What is the divine
purpose of this Eternal Holy One? It is
to give life to the penitent one. In
John 10:10 He said He came to give life and to give it more abundantly. His purpose is to make glad the heart of the
penitent. This is seen in the abundant
life He gives.
I hope these feeble thoughts will
bring to your remembrance the greatness and the glory of our Sovereign God.
