A: God is a Spirit, whose being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness and truth are all infinite, eternal, and unchangeable.
Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit. (Psalm 147:5)
to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen. (Romans 16:27)
Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. (1 Tim. 1:17)
To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.(Jude 1:25)
Thoughts: What does the phrase "only wise God" mean? It means that God's wisdom is incomparable to the wisdom of any other being. His wisdom is infinite, eternal and unchangeable. Our wisdom is finite, temporal (and limited by time), and wisdom often encourages us to change our minds. Since God sees the future and the past perfectly, He does not have any factors that would make changing His mind necessary. He not only sees all- but is able to understand and make sense of things. Wisdom is defined as crystallized intelligence- an ability to take different facts and get them to make sense. God's creation makes perfect sense to Him. He is like a conductor bringing the notes together to make a symphony.
Because God is so wise, we can trust in His wisdom. He is wiser than us, so we should humble ourselves before Him. He is wiser than us, so when we cannot see a way out, or a way through- then we can still trust Him.
Prayer: Give me grace, O Lord to trust that you see and understand what I cannot begin to see or understand. Even the darkness is not dark to you.
