Infinite Wisdom

The Infinite Wisdom of God

THE GREAT I AM IS UNEXPLAINABLE
—“In regard to the personality and prerogatives of God,
where He is, and what He is, this is a subject which
we are not to dare to touch. On this theme silence
is eloquence. It is those who have no experimental
knowledge of God who venture to speculate in re-
gard to Him. Did they know more of Him, they
would have less to say about what He is. The one
who in the daily life holds closest communion with
God, and who has the deepest knowledge of Him,
realizes most keenly the utter inability of human
beings to explain the Creator . .

“God always has been. He is the great I AM.
The psalmist declares, ‘Before the mountains were
brought forth, or ever Thou hadst formed the earth
and the world, even from everlasting to everlast-
ing, Thou art God.’ He is the high and lofty One
that inhabiteth eternity. ‘I am the Lord, I change
not,’ He declares. With Him there is no variable-
ness, neither shadow of turning. He is ‘the same
yesterday, and today, and forever.’ He is infinite and
omnipresent. No words of ours can describe His
greatness and majesty.”—Medical Ministry, 92.

HUMANS CANNOT EXPLAIN DIVINE WISDOM
-“Those are blessed with clearest light who
are willing thus to accept the living oracles upon
the authority of God. If asked to explain certain
statements, they can only answer: ‘It is so presented
in the Scriptures.’ They are obliged to acknowledge
that they cannot explain the operation of divine
power or the manifestation of divine wisdom. It is
as the Lord intended it should be, that we find our-
selves compelled to accept some things solely by
faith. To acknowledge this, is only to admit that
the finite mind is inadequate to grasp the infinite;
that man, with his limited, human knowledge, can-
not understand the purposes of Omniscience.”—5
Testimonies, 700-701.
