If I could wrap my head around the concept of infinity, where there is no beginning or end, to the existence of God…
If I could grasp what it means for God to be present everywhere at the same time…
If I could comprehend His omniscient ability to know everything past and future…
If I could...then I wouldn’t end up with a headache every time I tried to make sense of such divine concepts.
I’m not the only one, you know. Many people continue to search for answers to all these unanswerable questions, as if it were even possible to scientifically reduce God into a standard formula or definition. So many people want to know the things God knows and want to be able to do the things God does. It kind of makes you think that most of the world would be happy if they could just be God.
Being God seems to be a popular aim since every religion (outside of those that serve Creator God) direct their followers to find the source of power within their own self-guided existence.
But for me, the greatest blessing of all has been to know and experience the one and only God of the universe. Allowing Him to be God, and not me, has freed me up to reflect on the awesome revelation of His character. And with Him as my God, I can rest in the knowledge that I don’t have to play God. Besides, I’m capable of giving myself enough headaches! Why would I want to take on His holy purpose, as my own, as well?
