This song “Indescribable” captures the true essence of our God in our own human mentality. I don’t think we can truly comprehend God’s essence, wisdom and majesty. Our knowledge is too limited.
“As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”-Isaiah 55:9
Read the lyrics before listening to the song..
Our God is so mysterious, powerful in majesty, vast in wisdom.
You can’t compare God to anyone but himself.
Think about it..
He created the smartest person in the world.
He created the most powerful person in the world.
He created the most beautiful person in the world.
He created our beautiful nature.
Our mysterious God is so Powerful that at the mention of his Name, “Every knee has to bow and Every Tongue must confess that He is Lord” (Philippians 2:10)
“Indescribable” By Chris Tomlin
Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
None can fathom
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
You are amazing God
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
Incomparable, unchangeable
You see the depths of my heart and You love me the same
You are amazing God
You are amazing God
How GREAT is our GOD!!!!
During my undergrad, I got an opportunity to see an health care professional work with a stroke patient. She educated me about what she was doing, I couldn’t stop to think that we are indeed fearfully and wonderfully made.
As you know stroke affects one side of your body. Basically, one side of your body becomes affected, you can’t do what you could before with that side of the body.
Stroke happens when there is less blood flow to your brain due to a narrowed artery or an artery that burst open. The right side of your brain control the left side of your body and the left side of your brain controls the right side. So the side of the brain that is affected will determine which side will lose function. For more info (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001740/)
The healthcare professional was working with this patient on their affected side of the body to get it to function again. While she was working with this patient, she showed how the other side (unaffected) tried to compensate for the functioning lost in the affected side. As the patient was trying to do stuff with the affected side the unaffected side was also trying to do the same thing to help the affected side.
God knew that we would go through challenges that’s why he set up compensatory mechanisms to help us adapt.
How GREAT is our GOD!!
The Law of Gravity..
Can you imagine earth without this law?
We would all be floating without it.
I know the idea of floating sounds kool.
If we were constantly floating could have we been able to do all the things we can do today?
Of course, if Gravity didn’t exist,
God would have created another law that would have made our lives easier.
If we were constantly floating would we have cars?
Floating cars??
Obviously, it’s hard for me to imagine life without gravity.
Take a minute, imagine ur life without gravity?
What kind of life would it be?
Do you think we could survive like this?
God is so Great that he made this earth with a law that makes our life easier.
How Great is our GOD!!

For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
What is our Soul? Why does God want us to love him with all our soul?
Matthew and Mark resonate the same question.. what can a man give in exchange of his soul??
Luke 2:35- sword piercing through the soul and revealing our thoughts.
Rom 13:1- says let every soul be subject to authorities. In other words, let every man be subject to God.
It seems our soul is the real us ppl don’t get to see.
Our soul is capable of emotions according to Luke 1:46 (mary praising God) and John 12:27 (soul is troubled).
According to the verse above, we see the trinity. According to Genesis 1:26-God created us in our own image. God is 3 in One. God the father, God the son and God the holy spirit. If we were created in God’s image, we are similar to God. Of course, we are just mortals, we don’t possess immortal abilities as God. Our spiritual body is the body that will operate when it comes to eternity. What you do with your soul now on earth determines where your spirit will spend eternity.
We are spirit, soul and body. Our body we can clearly see but our souls and spirit we can’t. When we die, our spirit will separate from our bodies.
Back to soul.. What is our soul? In reference to 1 Thess 5:23-our soul is the real us, we don’t see.
Heb 4:12.. Talks about how the word can divide the soul from the spirit?
1 Peter 2:11 says lets flee lust and other things that wars against our soul. This verse indicates that the enemy is also interested in our soul. If he wasn’t interested, he wouldn’t war against our soul.
Of course, I need to do more studying on this topic.
From this brief study, it seems our soul is the real us we don’t get to see and others too. You know how ppl say the real person will come out. Our soul in other words is our inner man that is really who we are. People can act a certain way to hide who they really are but the person on the inside (soul) is really who they are.
Somehow, the enemy is also interested in our souls. Why?? More to come..
