Indescribable

This post does not seemingly go along with my theme. In all honesty I was not planning on talking about this subject for my next blog. So let me explain. 

OUR GOD IS INDESCRIBABLE!

That's an explanation? Well, Yes. It's an explanation in itself. What I am going to do in the rest of this blog is somewhat untraditional, yet joyously powerful. 

I have just finished reading the book "I am not, but I know I AM" by Louie Giglio. Louie puts us and God into an entirely new perspective. I encourage you to create a list. Write down everything you can think of that you are not.  For example. "I am not perfect" "I am not powerful" "I am not love" "I am not all knowing". After you have made your list... began to right next to each of those I AM. The very name of God. We are small, very small. And God is big, very BIG. In this book, Louie proposes a word study. To take each word in a biblical passage, and to meditate upon each word for a day. The four words in the italics above deserve this type of attention. I want to shortly bring your attention to these words now as best I can.

OUR

Us... You and I... EVERYONE on this earth. All of the "I am nots". Each and every person who is completely undeserving of God's love but who has been given it freely anyway. This word, alone, is meaningless without the next. We, are NOTHING without...

GOD

To study and write about the above word would be to start a paragraph that would never end. The very name itself emanates majesty, glory, and holiness. To wrap our minds around this word is impossible. I AM... The list you made previously, is only the tip of a never ending ice burg in the study of this word.

IS

Simply put... "TO BE". Existence. Truth. Anything REAL. Anything SOLID. TO BE, I AM. TO BE GOD. TO BE, WHERE i am not. TO BE....

INDESCRIBABLE

To describe everything, in every possible way, and not being able to even paint a picture of what IS. TO DESCRIBE EVERYTHING GOOD IN EVERY POSSIBLE WAY AND NOT EVEN COMING CLOSE TO WHO OUR GOD IS. Everything that we can NOT wrap our minds around. ANYTHING Incredible, that we can NOT put into words or even thought. Every word in the 6,000+ known languages on earth combined, not even coming close to describing GOD. 

OUR GOD IS INDESCRIBABLE

Is to say "We who 'are not' are unable to wrap our minds around 'I AM'"

Walking on water with Him... means we are powerless without GOD. It means complete trust in the indescribable. It means worship in awe of WHO HE IS. It means humble adoration for a God we cannot wrap our minds around. It means lifting our hands in praise to a God who is so GREAT and so GOOD and so full of LOVE that he sent his only Son Jesus Christ to shed his blood on a rugged wooden cross, bearing the burden of every sin in the world, because he knew YOUR name and he knew my NAME, and he refused to see us apart from Him. Though we were MOST undeserving, He Loved us ANYWAY.

PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME!
