Thoughts for another day

Sept. 3, 2012.

Today's verse: Ps. 139:6. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it. (KJV)

(Pls. read the above before you read further. Thanks)

There's 'knowledge', beyond man's capacity for he's too little to obtain it as David implies in our Scripture.  A 'knowledge' God promises He will reveal to us, Jer. 33:3 'Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.'  It's this 'knowledge', we must attain for its right on the pathway to God, leading us to know Him.  For once we've known God, or are known of God…Gal. 4:9, Christ will accept us as known to Him. If we don't know Him, then He doesn't know us and He says, 'I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity Mt:7:23.'

Every true believer must strive toward this 'knowledge' because it's the true fruit of our faith where we start seeing God both in us and around us, the way our Lord and Master, Jesus, saw God in all His dimensions; which is why He could walk on water for He knew God has control over water (and deep inside if you know it, you can harness God's power, and also control it).  Jesus never shied away from working a miracle because He knew God and things of God; a 'knowledge' of the possibility of all things by the Holy Spirit of God.  You know when I think of Adam's folly, an effort to know between good and evil; I find his desire so insipid compared with what God had given him, i.e. Himself.  Adam was able to stand before God and see in Him, as through clear water, a reflection of all glory, all possibility.  Can you grasp this, for if you do then, like David who probably got just a fraction of this 'knowledge', you could also echo, 'such knowledge is too wonderful for me!'

To attain to this 'knowledge' it's essential to be holy.  Without holiness it's impossible to even see it as it floats in our imagination as little dots which God pours into our minds to evoke our desires to grasp it because of His mercy and because He wants us to have this 'knowledge'.  It can only be attained by meeting Him in the dark and holy place like Elijah did on Mount Horeb.  In that instant, the boundary between knowledge and lack of it, vanishes.  It's then that we see clearly to walk with God and we no longer focus on our problems because the 'knowledge' shatters our problems before the 'Awesomeness' of God.  It leads us into the heavenly realms where we can see His holy angels attired in flaming garments: praising Him eternally.  It releases us from the corrupt earthen vessels we're in and lift us up with our heavenly bridal garments before the Holy of holies to gaze in awe at the Lamb of God at the right hand of the Father, dwelling in unapproachable light and worship Him!  For He is our God, our Bridegroom. Amen.
