"My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts," says the Lord. "And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine."
— Isaiah 55:8
Whoa! Time to stop, rest, and take a status check on your concept of God. He has revealed Himself and it's up to us to acknowledge He has... and realize there is no possible way we can put Him in our box of preconceived ideas. Our concept of God can only be based upon those aspects of Himself that He has chosen to reveal. It can never be centered on our own imaginings and misconceptions. If we remain far and distant from Him, our ideas of Him will be totally inaccurate. But if we draw close to Him, we can savor in the beauty of what He has made known!
About the Composer
- tAaOS
- In those wee hours of the morning; in those quiet, private times spent with the Lord; in those times of prayer and faithfully studying His word; that was when the Alpha & Omega Suite came to it's composer. This didn't happen instantaneously, but slowly and consistently over the course of nine years, beginning in 2000 and going through 2008. Accuracy to God's Word was more important than finishing the Suite quickly, which is a process that flies in contrast with the way things are normally done in our throw-away, media-centered culture. But, when dealing with the concept of God, it's important that our proclamation is based upon what He has revealed of Himself and not on the imaginations of fallen humanity.
