Week Five - Day Five: End of Day

Spend a minute and review Isaiah 55:8-9.

(8) "For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
      neither are your ways my ways,"
      declares the LORD.

(9) "As the heavens are higher than the earth,
      so are my ways higher than your ways
      and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Now take a moment and review Psalm 19:1-6.

(1) The heavens declare the glory of God;
      the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

(2) Day after day they pour forth speech;
      night after night they display knowledge.

(3) There is no speech or language
      where their voice is not heard.

(4) Their voice goes out into all the earth,
      their words to the ends of the world.
      In the heavens he has pitched a tent for the sun,

(5) which is like a bridegroom coming forth from his pavilion,
      like a champion rejoicing to run his course.

(6) It rises at one end of the heavens
      and makes its circuit to the other;
      nothing is hidden from its heat.

I hope you have had the time (and you’ve taken it) to work on memorizing these two passages. Memorizing Scripture is the single most helpful spiritual habit for me, especially if I am feeling disconnected from God.

So, God is holy. He is unique, solitary, perfect, even incomprehensible – for those whom Paul calls “the man without the Spirit.” But for those in whom God’s Spirit resides He is self-revealing and intimately known. Thank you, God.

We end this week with a prayer from Tozer’s The Knowledge of the Holy.

“Lord, how great is our dilemma! In Thy Presence silence best becomes us, but love inflames our hearts and constrains us to speak.

Were we to hold our peace the stones would cry out; yet if we speak, what shall we say? Teach us to know that we cannot know, for the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Let faith support us where reason fails, and we shall think because we believe, not in order that we may believe. In Jesus name. Amen.”

Lights out!
