infinite God.

Infinite God.

You are infinitely better...
You are infinitely supreme...
You are infinitely wise...
You are the creator of infinite...
You are ever expanding God

If you can't tell, God has been revealing his infiniteness of who he is. It's funny, because in all honesty, i can't really understand or comprehend that. But his truth has been made real to me this morning. I have soo much to write about and so many stories to tell of his faithfulness and committment to me and to all of us. But, that's probably why i have been slacking when it comes to blogging...So much to tell. But this, this is really good. And this is really fresh. It happened just this morning. Join me as i am still processing...

According to my Webster's pocket dictionary (and yes i do have one), the word infinite means: (1)having no limit or extending indefinatley; (2)vast.

With that said, God IS soo infinite. He never stops. He's always been and will always be. He has never come on the scene, because he has always and will always be the scene. He wasn't created by anything nor mastered by anything. He isnt revolutionary either. God is ever expounding.

That is just ridiculous to me. HOW??! How is it that a God like that, the God like that, came and died and LIVES in you and me. Knowing that he is about his glory and its all tied back to his glory, still why?? Why us? Why me? His grace is infinite then. This is all just mind boggling to think about. But that's where his truth comes in.

The story...

I dont know about you, but there are many mornings that i wake up and before i can even realize that i am awake and not asleep...i am already under this wave of faulty condemnation. You know, the kind where you didnt do anything. U just woke up and there it was. This happens to me alot. It can be considered a good thing though...bc immediatley i am forced to seek his face. So praise him for that. But this morning, i woke up and there it was. Faulty condemnation. There wasnt any kind of sin that was lurking in the back of my mind that lead me to this. It was simply a tactic of the enemy.

Insert: The Lord has been on a mission to teach me that our mind is where everything occurs. The enemy uses our minds to plant everything but the truth and good news of jesus, in order to either sabotage our freedom in christ, to get our minds off of jesus, or to get us to stumble...which still accomplishes the first and second.

Continuing right along...
I went and got in the shower and it was still lingering over me. The wave of bullcrap that the enemy was trickling on me. Then Jesus came to set me free again of the bondage that i used to be enslaved to. He spoke this over me...

Christian:

"My compassions and mercies are new EVERY morning! You are mine and i am yours. Today is different because it is new. Because i am the author and perfector."

Wow!! U talk about exillerating. I was floored. And immediatley my face hit the floor. He is soo worthy of all that we are.

That truth led me to search out that particular scripture. I had read it a thousand times and still couldn't remember where it was. Eventually i got there.

Lamentations 3.22-23

[Because of the Lord's great love, we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning.]

We are never consumed by anything but jesus. It is the only thing that consumes. That wave of condemnation...it doesnt consume. Jesus consumes it.

You getting this now?

I kept thinking and analyzing, "NEW EVERY MORNING." That means that every morning and every day is different than the day before and the day before that, etc. If that doesn't get our minds out of the box and create a desire to live joyfully and expectant of jesus in everything, then i dont know what will.

Amazing. The word Infinite. How appropriate. Infinite God. Each day of my life and your life, his compassions are new and exciting and packaged in truth sent by God to his uniquely created worshippers.

Because [we are his and he is ours.]

Thank you for being infinitely bigger than we can imagine.
