What Does God Know about You? (2 of 7)
Series: In Awe of God
Scott Maze
Psalm 139: 1-6
We all want to know who we are. We seek and search and try to “find ourselves.” Many of us have taken personality tests and other assessments. We learn personality inventory lists that tell us we are a lion, a beaver, a competitor, a high “I,” high “D.” We all want to know who we are. But what if I told you, you’ll never know who you are until you know who He is. I invite you to turn on your Bible and turn in your Bible to Psalm 139. You’ll never fully explore your psyche, your personality until you have come to know God.
How You View God Matters
We continue a seven week series tracing out some of the chief characteristics of God in the book of Psalms. Whether you call it attributes, traits, or characteristics, these are the adjectives the Bible uses to describe God. How you view God matters. Here’s why your view of God matters: You’ll never see God’s commandments as anything more than joy-killers until you know the God behind the commandments. Once you know the God behind the command, “Thou Shall Not Lie,” then you realize He operates like a physician who is writing you a prescription for your life and your happiness. Again, how you view God matters.
Think with me about God’s character for a moment for we need to tread carefully here. God CANNOT be fully known. God is so great, He cannot be searched out. I am sharing with you four reasons why God is incomprehensible by sharing with you one a week over the first four weeks of this series. Got it? Think of these four reasons as breadcrumbs left along the trail of the series (like Hansel and Gretel). Last week, I said only the infinite God can fully comprehend the infinite. But here’s a second reason God is incomprehensible: the perfect unity of God’s traits are far beyond our comprehension.
Have you ever said, “I like to think of God as …” and then share their personal picture of God? The Bible doesn ...
