Slowly savour the grandeur of the only, True God!
...there is a single
and simple
spiritual being,
whom we call God -
eternal,
incomprehensible,
invisible,
unchangeable,
infinite,
almighty;
completely wise,
just,
and good,
and the overflowing source
of all good.
The Belgic Conession, Article 1: The Only God
"But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions - it is by grace you have been saved." ~ Ephesians 2:4-5

I was particularly struck by the word "simple". He is incomprehensible, and yet simple? "The overflowing source of all good". Christy played a CD for me on our way back from MO. I can't remember the group or the title, but there was a recurring line: "The shadow proves the sunshine". How do we know that He is the source of all good? The absence of it.
oops. Above post was Anne.
Thanks again for your reflections on my postings, Anne. I get excited when I see there is an insightful comment.
Neat parallel with the song lines: so true!
Was the "simple" comment a question or a befuddlement or an exclamation. I couldn't tell.... :)
I guess it's a question. Incomprehensible and simple at the same time. Perhaps He is overwhelmingly simple, but our minds complicate things or are simply beyond understanding. I am generally struck with the scope of God and His love for us. How do we emulate that to Him and to others, which is a Christian's primary job? Too huge!
