The beginning of a prayer in the book ,'The Valley of Vision', starts like this,'Thou incomprehensible, but prayer - hearing God'. In Isaiah 40, God is speaking through the prophet Isaiah,and he asked the people of Israel,''With whom will you compare God?'',. The answer is ,no one can be compared to God, there is no other god, we are told in Isaiah 45 v 5 ,'I am the Lord, and there is no other,apart from me there is no God', CP 44 v6/ 45 v 22./ 46 v 9/ 47 v 8 . There is only one God, who has revealed Himself in His word. one is left trying to comprehend Him,it is impossible,creation alone should leave us at a loss, He made everything. right down to one blade of grass,one little ant, right up to every star,every planet,everything. ''Yes everything'', A.W. Tozer writes of, 'the helplessness of the human mind before the great mystery which is God'.Richard Rolle also writes,'' Verily God is infinite greatness, more than we can think''.We should be in awe of such a great being,but mankind on the whole have lost that awe, that mystery.Rather than submit to the mystery of an incomprehensible being, they bow before their god of science, leading then on,teasing them, telling them that they will soon have all the answers. J.I.Packer writes, 'True knowledge of God is through faith', we are told that faith cometh through hearing and hearing by the word of God .Romans 10 v17,that faith brings us into a relationship with God, through Faith in the Son of God .
A prayer
Open my eyes that I can see
in Jesus name,
Amen.
