His Greatness No One Can Fathom!

He knows them all by name.

“Great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom.” Psalm 145:3. I’ve looked recently at the latest pictures of known galaxies, which God spoke into existence. I also know that the brain He created has more neurons than the Milky Way has stars. As amazing as the brain is, we still can’t wrap out minds around it.

Augustine pondered this in Chapter 10 of the Confessions as he meditates just on our memory: “The power of memory is great, very great, my God. It is a vast and infinite profundity. Who has plumbed its bottom? This power is that of my mind and is a natural endowment, but I myself cannot grasp the totality of what I am” (Conf. 10.8.15).

But that’s not even the tip of the iceberg. Try to fathom God’s love as expressed in John 3:16. I think we cannot.

I’ve got a lot on my mind.
