God is too
vast for human comprehension.
People are often awed by scenes/expressions of power that are
bigger than human resources.
People typically are awed by things such as floods,
earthquakes, volcanoes, hurricanes, and tornados.
The powers unleashed by such phenomena defy human imagination
and challenge human physical senses.
Most of us cannot believe the immediate aftermath of such
power! Yet, God is
infinitely bigger!
If we gawk in
amazement at the power of such storms now, just imagine how people
shook their heads in amazement 3,000 years ago!
God is bigger
than the most astounding display of power they saw!
Nothing ever diminished God!
God was incapable of doing “too much”!
He could not commit too many resources to anything!
God was as impressive after an event as He was before an
event! Nothing
diminished God—not any display of power!
The psalmist
focused on water’s impressive power.
A flood could defy human imagination as a peaceful waterway
became a violent, pounding, uncontrollable force.
Sea storms raged as they destroyed or transformed shorelines!
Both were
unstoppable! All people
could do was helplessly watch the devastation as they witnessed
stormy water’s uncontrollable power.
As impressive
as water’s power is, God is more impressive!
His royal laws are beyond human change.
Surely those laws can be denied and rejected by people, but
not eliminated by people.
The Holy God remains Who He is in spite of defiant people.
Regardless of what people do, God remains unchanged!
The psalmist
focused those people on God’s magnitude.
If phenomena in their experience amazed them, God is
infinitely more amazing!
