The existence of God remains the deepest mystery to all mankind. No one can ever fathom this mystery, and our finite mind can never understand the infinite power possessed by our Creator. How he fabricated the universe out of His own breath, no mega-intelligent science can ever explain. Technology has evolved faster than ever, yet still nothing has been discovered to explain profoundly the nature of the universe and how it functions. Every attempt to extrapolate based on observations boils down to only but unsupported theories and speculations of what made up every heavenly body. Even the earth itself is only half explored. No one exactly knows what is transpiring within the very core of it, and how it holds each layer intact up to its stratosphere. The Bible merely offers a simple explanation in Colossians 1:17, "He (Jesus) is before all things, and in Him all things hold together." He displayed this power when He rebuked the storm to calm down in that dramatic scene at the lake (Matthew 8:27).
The Bible started with the phrase, "In the beginning". To God there is no beginning. The beginning statement of Genesis was only the beginning for the creation and the start of the history of the universe and mankind, but never pertaining to God. He is never a created Being but the Creator Himself.

Do not ever think or imagine that He looks physically like a man. Although we were created in His own image, His splendor is beyond the comprehension of human mind for He is perfect. Don't exchange Him for your graven, lifeless, useless images. Definitely, He is not it, and all the more He hates those who compare Him to these idols. He is invisible and we should not make Him visible through this hand-made figurines. It is enough that we know that there is The God and He is the most sovereign one. The King of all kings to be honored with high reverence and exultation.
He only revealed what is beneficial for us, but sooner, as we join Him in His eternal dwelling, we will get a better glimpse of who He is. Nevertheless, we are not sure whether He will reveal everything to us. It is all up to Him to decide. It is more than enough that we know Him at the extent of how much He introduced Himself to us, an infinite, all-power, all-knowing, all merciful, all loving and almighty Father. The Most Holy One, the Everlasting King of all Kings, author of all righteousness and the best among the bests.
The Challenge: Free your minds from the images of God as introduced to us by our ancestors. Get rid of those hand-made images to gain His favor. Always read the Scriptures and reflect on it to know Him more and more everyday. As you do pray, He will reveal Himself to us personally and will clearly disclose His perfect will for our own lives.
Scriptures to Reflect On:
- Isaiah 45:20
- Leviticus 19:4
- Galatians 4:8
- Revelations 9:20
- Psalms 135:15-18
- Exodus 20:3-6
- Isaiah 44:9-20
- Romans 1:20-32
