Yes. That gibberish in the title was purposeful because I have NO words to describe this devotional. Have you ever had an experience that was hard to put into words? Has your day ever been made so much that no other day on earth could compare? Ever been blessed so greatly, it’s hard for you to understand and verbalize your appreciation? Well, something that is completely indescribable is God! My Father! Yahweh! God is SO amazing! Like, there really are NO WORDS that can even slightly describe His greatness, His glory, His character, His love!

From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creation's revealing Your majesty
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaiming
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
None can fathom
Incomparable, unchangeable
You see the depths of my heart and You love me the same
You are amazing God
I really love this song! Hearing someone verbalize the unique characteristics of God is so cool! Psalms 147:4 says “He counts the number of the stars; He gives names to all of them”….WHAT! WHO DOES THAT?! Only our Father!! Have you ever tried to count stars before, if you have, you know it’s utterly impossible, but God knows exactly how many there are AND what their names are! The line about God holing snow in storehouses, just think about that. That’s pretty cool imagery. = ) He controls all the elements! The universe is at His control! God is so great!
My favorite part of the entire song is “ You see the depths of my heart and you love me the same”….Can I deal with this on this p.m. ? (lol). But really though, how good is it to have a daddy who can see the depths of our hearts and STILL love us! Our hearts that can be SO dirty at times….but GOD still LOVES us! He continually gives us chances to restore our relationships with Him, OVER and OVER and OVER again! My God! = ) And it’s SO silly sometimes when we give in to the “joys” of this world, seek temporary release and satisfaction off life’s drugs and leave our infinite, wise, powerful, great, loving, compassionate, forgiving, and unchangeable God hanging for that. And God, for some reason STILL wants us back! Thank you Jesus!
Prayer: Thank you! We can’t fully comprehend your greatness but thank you for your love! Thank you for always blowing our minds with your power and glory! God we don’t have the words to share the joy and the love you have placed in our hearts! You are so faithful! Thank you for not giving up on me daddy! Thank you for NOT giving up on me! Thank you that my mess ups, my unfaithfulness, and the sin that is permeating through my blood, did not cause you to leave me. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! YOU are…..wow….We love you… We love you….. You are amazing!
