Forevermore
If the Almighty had not gone out of His way to demonstrate who He is, any human description would fail totally. Actually, we can see in the ancient literature of Greece, the traditions of Egypt, and the “isms” of the Far East man’s most aggressive attempts at describing God. The “revelations” vary greatly from gods who copulate with humans, to the belief that we are all part of a universal god. In reality God was at work in a different part of the world, calling a man named Abraham to become the father of His people and ultimately bring a Savior to all mankind. Said another way, God brought us the written Word, the Bible, and sent Jesus, who is the living Word. These two divine revelations tell us all we need to know about God.
But we will never come to the end of all that God is. He is greater and grander than we will ever come to know. His beauty and splendor will continue to amaze us at every moment for all of eternity. Just when we may be inclined to allow a twinge of routine, another facet of His love and grace will unfold, and our mouths will simply fall open. And so, we as His followers learn to seek His face for daily strength, and anticipate doing so for eternity.
There is nothing of personal weakness or lack, just the acute awareness that the King is our hope, our very life force. That the Almighty God would invite us to spend our eternity with Him is too wonderful to consider. So for now, let’s just seek Him daily.
