God's Exquisite Garden
INCOMPREHENSIBLE GOD
The definition of the word incomprehensible is impossible to understand or comprehend; unintelligible, incapable of being explained.
Though we were made in the image of God (spiritual not physical), man will never have the countless characteristics belonging only to Deity.
God thunders marvelously with His voice; He does great things which we cannot comprehend.
Job 37:5
Mankind attempts to comprehend what we can see with the eyes or what we are able to know. We have a God who is incomprehensible . To lay hold of something is to mentally comprehend.
that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height
to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge;
that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Ephesians 3:17-19
The glorious wonders of our Almighty God are everywhere. The sun, moon and stars are but a few of His magnificent creations.
Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day,
and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also.
Genesis 1:16

All around us are creations that our Blessed Lord has made for our benefit. Our great Magnificent Lord's creations include the Grand Canyon , the sky, the rivers, and the oceans.
And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters He called Seas.
And God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:10
How can anyone question the existence of God? They have only to see His wonders. There is NO WAY everything just happened! We have a creator and that creator is God. We have been given SO MANY wonders . The Lord God made all the mountain ranges and the glaciers.

The human body is a wonder. In each person, unless a health problem prohibits it from working properly, each organ serves a specific purpose. Our bodies are made up of many cells. A substance called laminin acts as an adhesive - holding one cell to the next cell. God knew that we would need it so that our bodies would not fall apart. Our bodies have so many amazingly intricate parts,

To learn more about God, we only have to go to the Bible. There we learn of His creation and His care.

As we study, we will learn more and more of our Magnificent God. While we continue to study His Word, we will obey His word. The necessity for our obedience to His commandments will be seen.
One needs to study as we prepare to teach or preach .
When we obey His Word, we will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. On the day of Pentecost when Peter and the apostles proclaimed to the crowd assembled, they were baptized and received the gift of the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is our comforter we have been promised.
Once we receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, we will want to take precious care of this gift. As in a material gift that someone might receive, we use it appropriately.
God cared for the Israelites while they were in the desert. We read in John 6:31-35 how God sent manna for the Israelites to eat. God sent a pillar of a cloud of fire by night and a pillar of cloud by day for the Israelites to follow and know He was with them.
God sends the rain to replenish the earth. Without the rain, we would be in such a mess. Trees, grass and flowers and all plants need to grow, and water is a necessity for this to occur. This relieves heat, and we have a cooler climate.

Recently we were on vacation. One day as I was in my wheelchair, I tilted it back and I looked up at the sky. I just sat there and watched the clouds go past me. How marvelous they are.
And God called the firmament Heaven.
So the evening and the morning were the second day.
Genesis 1:8
God Adorns the Skies
Job 26:13
The Majesty of God
Psalm 19:1-6 -

What a Glorious and Magnificent God we have!! He showers us with blessings and shows His wondrous works.
For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible,
whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers.
All things were created through Him and for Him.
And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.
Colossians 1:16-17
