God of Wonder!

I have had a rather chaotic week…not as much hard as hectic. It is weeks like this that cause me wonder of the character of our God. Everything I see in the creation stories, in all of Scripture, and in all of nature indicates to me that we serve a God of order: a God who methodically and logically works in and thru his creation to accomplish great things. I believe that, but is that our total picture of God? If so, what about the God who works out of chaos? What about the God who doesn’t want us to become complacent? What about the God of surprises? Fact is, whatever your picture of God is, it’s incomplete. Our view of God is just a fraction of the total picture. Psalm 47 proclaims, “How awesome is the Lord Most High, the great King over all the earth!” Do you really think we are able to comprehend all that God is? (If we did completely understand God, do you think we would worry or fuss about anything?) I do not and I will confess I struggle with folks who do. It’s not that they disagree (or for that matter agree) with my beliefs; it’s that they think they have God all figured out! I believe our God is much more majestic, multifaceted, and powerful than any human can ever comprehend.
