Our Ongoing Opportunity – What a God We Serve!
Posted by Sandy in Christian Living, God's nature, Serving God, tags: Job, Peter ScottAbout a week ago, I wrote a blog titled We Don’t Have a Clue…
Yesterday a friend sent me an e-mail with a paragraph that just blew me away. It relates so well to my earlier blog (expressing some of what I was trying to say so much better than I had) that I asked his permission to share it with all of you. He graciously agreed.
“Job discovers, in the end, how vast the mystery of God is as God asks him questions that he cannot fathom the answers to.
Knowing God is like having the responsibility of drinking the Atlantic Ocean dry. We can drink until we are full and find that we have only tasted the depths of God and that there is so much more to drink.
And what a difference it is between tasting the water and describing the taste to someone else. And, if we are so successful in describing the taste that they want to drink it for themselves, helping them not be overwhelmed at the vastness of the ocean is our ongoing opportunity.”
Peter Scott
Our ongoing opportunity — to not only drink fully of God daily but to describe it to others and help them not be overwhelmed in the process.
Can you hear the joy in that? What a God we serve!
