Indescribable

My daughter is home from college and we have had a great time. She brought with her a DVD featuring Louie Giglio called Indescribable. I must admit that I was a little leery of this; thinking that this was part of the Passion movement and geared toward a much younger audience. However, I was wrong. What a beautiful message; a beautiful way of putting all things into perspective; to “right size” them and to remind us of proper response. I am reminded of Nehemiah 9:5-6.

5 And the Levites—Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah and Pethahiah—said: "Stand up and praise the LORD your God, who is from everlasting to everlasting." "Blessed be your glorious name, and may it be exalted above all blessing and praise. 6 You alone are the LORD. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you

Louie (I hope he doesn’t mind me calling him Louie) does a great job using the heavens to remind us our place and our true scale in the scheme of the universe. He shows how the heavens serve to remind us how truly indescribable our God is. He reminds us how big, great and glorious God is and some circles might use the words sovereign, omnipotent, omniscient, … However, you say it you must admit, we should all be in awe of a God that is so indescribably gracious, good and loving to us and who so indescribably sacrificed and suffered so that we might live for all eternity. So as we see in 2 Corinthians 9:15 Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!

Louie uses the picture you see on this blog; it is an image taken by the Hubble Telescope of the core of the Whirlpool Galaxy and scientist calls this the X-Structure. Look closely, can you see it? Can you see how much God loves us?

Daniel 12:2-3
2 Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.

Father, thanks and praise be to you creator of the heavens and the earth! Father, may we all awaken from the dust of the earth and see the stars of your heavens and may we shine like your stars forever!

Grace and Peace!
