This blog might seem rather unusual to some readers. It summarises a series of perceptions, or insights, or understandings I experienced a few days ago. These perceptions showed me just a little about God’s infinity.
In him we live and move and have our being (Acts 17:28; NIV).
God is infinite. Everything exists within God, and everything happens within God.
We live within God. Everything around us is within God. Our world and our solar system are within God. Our galaxy is within God, and it is just one tiny speck amongst countless others, all of which exist within the infinity of God.
God has no edges, no above or beneath, no inside or outside. God has no boundaries at all, because God is everything.
If it were possible for us to watch God passing us by, that passing by would never come to an end. Moreover, no matter how long we watched for, we would still be inside God, even whilst watching God passing by.
Sometimes we catch a glimpse God. However, no matter how much we perceive, or are shown, or understand, we are only seeing a vanishingly small aspect of God’s infinite Being.
During our earthly lives, we and all our reference-points are within God, so it is impossible for us even to imagine, let alone perceive or understand, the infinity of God.
“My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the LORD. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine” (Isaiah 55:9; NLT).
