Immeasurable God

The Upper Room 5 February 2022 Devotional Message:
While talking with my wife at dinner, I asked her about the value of pi (π) — the number that starts out 3.14159. It is used for calculating the circumference and area of a circle. My wife, a middle school math teacher, affirmed that pi is an “irrational number,” meaning that it goes on and on. While no mathematician can fully write out the endless series of digits that comprise pi, it is nonetheless vitally important for calculations made by engineers, inventors, artists, and even chefs.

Like pi, God is also immeasurable in that we cannot fathom the fullness of who God is. Yet knowing God helps us to make sense of life. We may spend a lifetime calculating the infinite “digits” of God, each one of which brings new wonder, surprise, and perspective to our search to know God. But knowing that God is immeasurable can bring us comfort because the God who holds infinite knowledge in one hand also holds endless love in the other.
Today we can rejoice, knowing that while God spans far beyond human understanding, God gives us enough “digits” to know abundant beauty and profound love.
TODAY’S PRAYER
Immeasurable God, thank you for allowing us to see a glimpse of who you are. Help us to trust you far beyond our own understanding. Amen.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Though I cannot fully comprehend God, I trust God’s power and love.
