So I really wanted to encourage you guys with somethings God has been showing me.
Hebrews 1 and Psalm 45 have a couple verses of overlapping text. They're both awesome, check them out. But these verses, they talk about how God anoints God because of how great He is. So God is worshipping God.
Which really makes alot of good sense, even though it seems really foreign. I mean think about it. Sure we know that God is ultimately trying successfully to gain for Himself as much glory as possible. But this includes first and foremost, actually actively worshipping Himself in everything He does. So the greatest Glory God ever gets is in when the only perfect one, God, is constantly Glorifying Him. Kind of a confusing circle.
Or we can think about it this way. We are created for the highest purpose, to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. We are also created in God's image, to look like Him. So naturally, the greatest and ultimate reason for our creation is going to be a direct reflection of what God does. Now that we're fallen we don't glorify Him in all we do, like we should, but we ultimately try to glorify ourselves in all we do. God does the same thing. But ours is illigitimate.
I would say we can probably only know like 1% of who God. I think anymore would make our heads explode. I think it could kill us. John in Revelation and Isaiah both come to mind as people scared of death because of how much they know about God. We aren't designed to comprehend Him. Never were. Eve didn't, that's why she was able to question Him in the first place, when she was still flawless.
But I think we should always seek to know more. We should always be trying in everything we do to gain the very thing which could kill us if we get too much of it.
So even the wisest of men probably only know less than 1% of who God is and why He's so glorious. When we worship, we should be thinking about the fact that most of our good reasons to worship Him continue to ellude us, and always will. Be we should be begging for just another hint, another drop of knowledge on what makes up the character of this God.
My prayer is this, that we would worship God in this knowledge in everything we do, knowing that we don't really know anything about who He is, but desiring only to know Him more fully.
