If God’s greatness is “unsearchable,” should I still search?s30e133 Psalm145

Searching for the greatness of God

It is an assessment and then an a accounting report

    In a way it is a forensic accounting of the Lord

    Lord receives an audit, a valuing, and then a reporting

First blush: seems like an over the top psalm for an over the top God. Setting his mind and mouth right before God

Is it? Is it really OVER the top? 

    What if it is right ; perfectly accurate. What if David is just throwing strikes?

Why is this important? 

    What If this psalm isn’t true?—then He isn’t worth worth-shipping

    Or we are not to search:His ways are not to be accounted in this way

    It is important to get this right.

Is God’s greatness “unsearchable?” What do we mean by it?

Great Is the Lord

145  A Song of Praise. Of David. 

1    I will extol you, my God and King, 

and bless your name forever and ever. 

2    Every day I will bless you 

and praise your name forever and ever. 

3    Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised, 

and his greatness is unsearchable. .God’s greatness is unsearchable x2

But we are going to try. 

Unsearchable doesn’t me we DO NOT SEARCH. 

Unsearchable means that when we are done with our search, there is more greatness ahead of us than behind.

Unsearchable means that when we are done with our search, there is still more greatness to find.

His GREATNESS is unserarchable

Therefore, If you are going to do this thing with God

If you are going to have a relationship with God, you eventually will have to address the greatness of God. You must ask “How great is God?”

Job asked it: In Job 5: 8  “As for me, I would seek God, 

and to God would I commit my cause, 

9    who does great things and unsearchable, 

marvelous things without number:

10    he gives rain on the earth 

and sends waters on the fields; 

11    he sets on high those who are lowly, 

and those who mourn are lifted to safety.

12    He frustrates the devices of the crafty, 

so that their hands achieve no success. 

13    He catches the wise in their own craftiness, 

and the schemes of the wily are brought to a quick end. 

14    They meet with darkness in the daytime 

and grope at noonday as in the night. 

15    But he saves the needy from the sword of their mouth 

and from the hand of the mighty. 

16    So the poor have hope, 

and injustice shuts her mouth. 

17    “Behold, blessed is the one whom God reproves; 

therefore despise not the discipline of the Almighty.

”If the greatness of God is too much to comprehend, what should my response be?

Shall I throw up my hands in a search-for-greatness tizzy?

Or Shall I first take a count. Then make an accounting, and then Finally,resume the search for God’s greatness, that is: .

take another step in the search for God’s greatness

If I know that the ultimate “number” of God’s greatness is infinite, should I stop enumerating them now?

Let’s say that God’s greatness is a TRILLION and my fininte brain can only search to a MILLION, does that mean I do not search for the greatness of God. NO

       Every many should 

Perhaps there is something to be gained for my finite brain, my weary soulto make an accounting. Prepare a report. Search for what I know about the GREATNESS of God.  And then go more

Let’s look at it from God’s perspective:

Does God like it when we search for for Him?

Would it please Him to find us SEARCHING FOR THE GREATNESS OF GOD.

If we pictured this as a journey a physical exploration, How would God respond?  I think He’d be pleased.

       If God really is really great, He knows it.

       He really wants to be accurately known

He is pleased in the counting.

       He is pleased in the accounting, the reporting. 

       Every man should account for the greatness of God

Paul found the greatness unsearchable and just beyond, or way beyond comprehension

Rom 11:33Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways! .Paul found God’s riches to be beyond his finite searching:

Eph 3:8To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,

Job 5:9who does great things and unsearchable, marvelous things without number: .though when we look at God’s greatness, and we will find it beyond number,  it doesn’t mean that we should not start the COUNTING.

Your greatness is unserarchable. I’m starting the search RIGHT now

Unsearchable doesn’t me we DO NOT SEARCH. 

Unsearchable means that when we are done with our search, there is more greatness to be found ahead of us than behind
