December 20, 2024 – Too Small a God to Worship
1 Corinthians 2:7-9
Sermon: 2299 The Christ of the Old Testament, Part 2
Pray Over This
“But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But as it is written: ‘Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.’”
1 Corinthians 2:7-9
Ponder This
I’m not trying to prove to you that Jesus is the Messiah. True faith is rooted in evidence, but it goes beyond evidence; true faith becomes its own best evidence. We can’t find God based on human reasoning. Nothing will hold anything beyond its own capacity. Do you think you can cram God into your mind? Your mind doesn’t have the capacity to contain God. So, don’t try to eliminate God because you don’t understand Him.
To have a God that I can worship, He must be a God greater than my mentality. If I could understand God, God would be no bigger than my intellect, which is far too small a god for me to worship. If we could understand God, we wouldn’t need God, but we don’t have to understand Him to know Him.
When I was a little boy, my dad used to go off to work. I didn’t know where he went, nor what he did, but I knew he was my dad; I knew him personally; and I loved him. You don’t have to understand how God runs the mighty Universe to put your faith and trust in Him. I’m telling you by faith you can know the Lord Jesus Christ.
- When have you tried to understand God and His ways? What happened?
- How have you seen God at work in some of the ways you couldn’t understand at the time?
Practice This
Go to a place in nature that reminds you that God is bigger than you and bigger than anything you can understand. Sit for a while, praying and praising God.
