“Look, God is greater than we can understand.
His years cannot be counted.
He draws up the water vapor
and then distills it into rain.
The rain pours down from the clouds,
and everyone benefits.
Who can understand the spreading of the clouds
and the thunder that rolls forth from heaven?
See how he spreads the lightning around him
and how it lights up the depths of the sea.
By these mighty acts he nourishes the people,
giving them food in abundance.”—Job 36:26-31 (NLT)
LORD God,
Forgive me when I—in my foolish arrogance—assume to tell You the things that You should or should not do, and remind me of the limitlessness of Your wisdom and the incomprehensible greatness of Your power which is ever on display for me to see.
When I become prideful—thinking
I know so much about Your ways—remind me that I haven’t even begun to see You
as You are—to understand my Creator.
For how can I—with my
finite mind—truly understand an infinite God?
How can my mind comprehend a God whose years are beyond number—who always
was and always will be?
Yet, help me to continue
to seek to know and understand You better every day, that my faith might grow
out of the revelation of Your love for me—which You demonstrate to me in every
moment that I live.
And help me to trust in
Your sovereignty—Your ultimate control—and never doubt Your goodness, as out of
Your love and through Your mighty acts You nourish and feed us all with
abundance—giving us everything we need to accomplish Your purpose in and through us.
Forgive me when I—in my foolish arrogance—assume to tell You the things that You should or should not do, and remind me of the limitlessness of Your wisdom and the incomprehensible greatness of Your power which is ever on display for me to see.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
