Mere Edges
He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth on nothing. He binds up the water in His thick clouds, yet the clouds are not broken under it. He covers the face of His throne, and spreads His cloud over it. He drew a circular horizon on the face of the waters, at the boundary of light and darkness. The pillars of heaven tremble, and are astonished at His rebuke. He stirs up the sea with His power, and by His understanding He breaks up the storm. By His Spirit He adorned the heavens; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent. Indeed these are the mere edges of His ways, and how small a whisper we hear of Him! But the thunder of His power who can understand? Job 26:7-14
“Indeed these are the mere edges of His ways” –
as amazing as the things that Job describes about the Lord are, they are just barely the beginning of what He is; the mere edges.
There is so much to know about Him, so much to understand about His ways.
We spend time in His Presence, not for the things He will do for us, but for what we will learn about Him and His ways.
The more intimate we get with the Lord, the more He will reveal Himself to us; the many layers and complexities.
Set aside some time with Him today.
You won’t regret it.
I don’t know about you, but I want to know so much more than the “mere edges”!
