Discovering God ♥ All-Powerful All-Wise

God has infinite power. He can do or make anything. He is almighty.

If someone asks, "Can he draw a square circle?" The answer is no because a square circle is not a something, it is a no-thing. It is a contradiction in terms. 

"Can God sin?" No. Like the square circle, sin is also a no-thing—a failure to obey God. God can do anything, but he does not do no-things. 

And just as he is Almighty, God is all-wise. Wisdom itself.  

He made all things, and planned everything out from the beginning. So who am I to question why he does the things he does, or allows the things he does?

And since God can do anything, and is wise enough to use that power, I can trust him. Something I need to keep reminding myself over and over again. 

I'll end this post with the lyrics of one of my favorite songs:

Better Than I
(from Joseph King of Dreams)

I thought I did what's right
I thought I had the answers
I thought I chose the surest road
But that road brought me here
So I put up a fight
And told you how to help me
Now just when I have given up
The truth is coming clear

Chorus 1:
You know better than I
You know the way
I've let go the need to know why
For You know better than I

If this has been a test
I cannot see the reason
But maybe knowing
I don't know is part of getting through
I tried to do what's best
But faith has made it easy
To see the best thing i can do
Is to put my trust in You.

Chorus 2
For, You know better than I
You know the way
I've let go the need to know why
For You know better than I

Coda:
I saw one cloud and thought it was a sky
I saw a bird and thought that I could follow
But it was You who taught that bird to fly
If I let You reach me
Will You teach me.
(Repeat Chorus )

For, You know better than I
You know the way
I've let go the need to know why
I'll take what answers you supply
You know better than I
