Event: Paul in Athens
S - Scripture
Acts 17 v. 24-25 The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in Shrines made by man, nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all men life and breath and everything.
O – Observation
Uncontainable. Unimaginable. Paul laid out to the people in Athens, and to us, the reality of God. Since our human brains can only comprehend so much, we tend to think in things that we understand. But that is NOT the reality of God. The first part of this verse places God in proper perspective, creator of heaven and earth. Psalm 24 v. 1, "The earth is the Lords and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein." When we recognize this fact, that opens the door to recognize his unimaginable love for us. Romans 5 v. 8, "But God shows his love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us."
A - Application
Do I have a proper perspective on God?
P - Prayer
Jesus, You truly are indescribable, unimaginable. Love Will
