Today in Psalm 102:27, I read:
"But You are the same,
And Your years will not come to an end." (NASB)
In this version the phrase "the same" had an alternate translation. It was just one word..."He".
Read that and soak it in. "But You are He." Isn't it awesomely awesome to serve a God that needs no description? He's just "He".
There was no beginning, there will be no end. Everything that we understand "He" to mean and more than we can ever imagine...all of that and, believe it or not, even more is what "He" embodies. Our finite human brains can't even completely process all that this little two-letter word encompasses. Such a small word...but an adventure of a lifetime discovering the depth, the length and the breadth of all that "He" is.
And one day...praise His Name...we will understand what it meant for Him to be "He". When we stand before Him...complete...and even naked and unashamed (at least emotionally and spiritually)..."He" will embody absolutely everything we need and more.
So here's the question: Why wait until then to plum the depths of who "He" is?
Caroline and I were just talking about that! She'd learned in small group that He'd just always "been." "How can that be?" she asked. I couldn't give her a very good answer except Wes's phrase, "A God that we can explain isn't much of a God!" Thanks for your insights tonight, Angela! Great stuff!
