“When I gave my heart to know wisdom and to see the task which has been done on the earth (even though one should never sleep day or night), and I saw every work of God, I concluded that man cannot discover the work which has been done under the sun. Even though man should seek laboriously, he will not discover; and though the wise man should say, “I know”, he cannot discover.”<\/em>
\n -King Solomon (Ecclesiastes 8:16-17)<\/em><\/p>\n

How great is our God, and how unsearchable are his ways? We will spend eternity discovering the depths of the everlasting path of the I AM.<\/p>\n

Last evening, I saw the sun going down over the vast expanse of the ocean while piloting a small Piper Cherokee aircraft; I was 3500 feet over the Suwannee river cutting its way through the Florida wilderness on its inevitable path to the sea\u2026<\/p>\n

Indeed the marvel of creation testifies of a being so powerful, so wise, so loving, so mysterious, so infinite in every way.<\/p>\n

God has indeed done a work on the face of the earth…in the fullness of time he brought forth His own Son, born of a virgin girl, in the city of David…a small town in the Judean hills. In this Son dwelt the fullness of the infinite God. Through this Son’s death, he reconciled all of creation to himself…though we do not yet see all things reconciled to himself, we do see Jesus who has been exalted to the right hand of the Majesty on high.<\/p>\n

We will spend eternity understanding the depths of the work of God, but for now, God has given us one simple instruction….believe on the LORD Jesus Christ, and you will be saved.<\/p>\n

“For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day.”
\n<\/em>(John 6:40)<\/em><\/p>\n
