I have a question for you: What is the most important thing about you? Here’s what A.W. Tozer, the great theologian of the last century, wrote: “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” When you think about God, what do you think about God?
Jesus put it this way:
Now this is eternal life; that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent (John 17:3).
Knowing God makes a difference now and in eternity.
Therefore, getting to know God should be the most important pursuit of our lives as Christ-followers. Is that true for you? We get to know God through studying his Word and paying attention to what he tells us about himself. Let’s consider just a few of God’s attributes in order to get to know him better.
God’s Infinitude
Infinite means immeasurable, exceedingly great, endless, inexhaustible. The Bible says:
Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom (Psalm 145:3).
Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit (Psalm 147:5).
Have you ever meditated on the truth that God is infinite? Honestly, our minds are just too small to take it all in. As David said, no one can fathom the greatness of God. Even though we can’t fully comprehend infinitude, that’s who our God is, and we need to allow our minds to blow some fuses and just meditate often on our infinite God.
That means his knowledge of you is infinite. It means nothing you will experience, no one you may have to deal with, no difficulty you will face today is too big for the God you serve. He’s got you! He knows the worst about you and loves you infinitely!
Go to your world with full assurance that the God you serve has promised to never leave you or forsake you, and he’ll get you through whatever has you worried or frightened or frustrated. Your God is infinite!
