This Is The Infinite ONE, Whom ... I Call "My GOD!"

Lose yourself in the impenetrable tracts of HIS Glory! 

(John MacDuff, "The Night Watches")

"Before the mountains were born 
or YOU brought forth the earth and 
the world, even from everlasting to 
everlasting, YOU are GOD!" Psalm 90:2

O my soul! Seek to fill yourself with 

thoughts of the Almighty. Lose yourself 

in the impenetrable tracts of HIS Glory! 

"Can you by searching find out GOD?" 
(Job 11:17)

Can the insect fathom the ocean?
Can the worm scale the skies?
Can the finite comprehend the Infinite?
Can the mortal grasp Immortality?
We can do no more than stand on 

the brink of the shoreless sea, 

and cry, "Oh the depth!" 

"From everlasting to everlasting, 
You are God!"  (Psalm 90:2c) 

Shrouded in the great and amazing 

mystery of eternity, before one star 

revolved in its sphere, before 

one angel moved his wing--

GOD was!

HIS own infinite presence filling all space. 

All time, to HIM, is but as the heaving 

of a breath--

the beat of a pulse--

the twinkling of an eye! 

HE was as infinitely glorious when HE 

inhabited the solitudes of immensity alone--

as HE is now with the songs of angel 

and archangel sounding in His ear!

This is the BEING to whom I can 

look up with sweetest confidence, 

and call "My FATHER!" 

This is the Infinite ONE, whom 

"the Heaven of Heavens cannot contain," 

whom I call "My GOD!"

"This GOD is our GOD forever and ever; 
HE will be our guide even until death!" 
Psalm 48:14
