measure, matter, and magnitude

Measure... we see very little of all that You do for us... our senses are attuned to pick up on the tangible, and the tangible only... but You are an intangible God and You operate in both worlds... the physical manifestations of Your works toward us are all that we are truly able to partake in, and they represent such a small amount of all that You’re working to cause those things to come to pass. The small fraction of good that You do is enough for us to praise You forever, for we’re not worthy of the first blessing... but You continue to bless us beyond what we could ever deserve and beyond what our minds and thoughts could ever conceive.

Matter... the substance... it is not possible for us to understand the true quality of Your blessings... when we ask for a miracle, we ask for ourselves, yet when You perform it, You manage to cause that miracle to impact our lives, such that our lives impacts another, such that another life affects another. You’ve intricately woven the products of the blessings that You bestow on one, to the life of everyone that exists and the outcome is the best that a sovereign and all-knowing God could offer to His dying children... You bring light to the world through one man’s miracle, and only a mind like Yours would be capable of not only envisioning such a thing, but carrying it out to the glory of His name.

Magnitude... each blessing is larger than we can envision... we can only see the present result, but can’t foresee the ending... we can only fathom a modicum of the greatness that You’ll bring... Your power far exceeds what our minds allot to You... the total of the flow of Your compassion and mercy shames the greatest waterfall... the vastness of Your love could block out the stars of the universe... our minds don’t have to capacity to hold the revelation of the true bigness of Your blessings because its enormity surpasses the limits of our imagination.

Amen.
