Be still

Because man think of the infinite God as a finite being with our limited mind,
man often fail to trust and depend upon Him.
Man has crafted the image of God,
failing to instead seek and pursue it.
Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is on earthly things. Philipians 3:19

I have learnt that the truth of God's infinitude is important yet sometimes unfathomable.
However, as it is written:
"No eye has seen,
no ear has heard,
no mind has conceived
what God has prepared for those who love him"
but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit.
The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.
For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him?
In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.
1 Corinthians 2:9-11


I craved for knowledge to still my turbulent soul which was constantly challenged by questions.

[From: The knowledge of the Holy --A.W Tozer]
Then I realised that God can be known by the soul in tender personal experience while remaining infinitely aloof from the curious eyes of reason, constituting a paradox best described as:
Darkness to the intellect,
but sunshine to the heart.
Frederick W. Faber

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Matthew 5:8

"Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth."
Psalms 46:10
