Judges 4-5 Ps 39, 41 1Cor 13

Our sinful hearts like to put God into the abstract, unknowable category. Be as it may, we cannot fully understand God because He is far beyond us. Scripture tells us that no-one can look into the face of God and live (Isaiah 6:5, Judges 6:22-23) but love is a different matter. It is the one quality that transcends the barrier between man and God and God built the bridge. For “God so loved the world…” (Jn3:16) reminds us that we can do nothing that even comes close to what God can do. Jesus is the absolute perfect embodiment of love. He is love. When we come to understand this, all our hopes, dreams, plans and relationships pale into insignificance in the light of his glory and grace. Every moment of every day we need the Holy Spirit to remind us to measure our steps.
