God is infinite

 I once had a primary school teacher who would often say, “All good things must come to an end.” He offered this bit of proverbial wisdom at the end of break time or a birthday celebration in class. What this teacher was actually saying is that we are limited in what we can do. We have speed limits because driving recklessly would endanger our lives. Our patience is limited, and we sometimes blow up at the people around us. Time is limited. We can only accomplish so much in a day or in a lifetime. I’ll admit that many times I wish I had just one more hour in the day, or one more day in the week, especially during a week of a holiday. But all good things must come to an end, or so I’ve heard. 

Even though, we’re limited in time, energy, and even patience, we know that God is not limited. He’s infinite. When we say that God is infinite we simply mean that He’s unlimited in His character and His attributes. In fact, while we sometimes list ten or twenty attributes of God, such as His holiness, goodness, and love, we would gain a better appreciation for God if we consider the number of His attributes to be limitless. We’ll have all eternity to learn more and more about God, and even eternity will not be long enough to exhaust our understanding of the richness of His being. God is infinite.

Furthermore, when it comes to the other attributes of God we find that even these are unlimited. God is unlimited when it comes to time. He is eternal, He had no beginning, He will have no end, and He is outside time itself. Psalm 90.2 declares, “From everlasting to everlasting you are God.” Since God is eternal, He has time for you. God is also infinite in wisdom. In Romans 11.33, Paul exclaimed, “Oh the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out!” God knows what’s best in every situation because His wisdom is infinite. God is also infinite in His love for us. Psalm 36.5 expresses it like this, “Your love, O Lord, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies.” Because God’s love for us is unlimited, He never stops loving us. No matter how far from God you may have wandered, He is still ready to welcome you back with open arms. In addition, God is unlimited in power. Jeremiah 32.17 says, “Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you.” Is there something in your life today that needs God’s unlimited power? Are you facing problems that are way too big for you? They’re not too big for God. Nothing is too hard for Him. 

Since God is infinite, unlimited in the number and quality of His attributes, don’t you think it makes sense to put your trust in Him? Why not ask Jesus, God’s Son, to come into your heart today and help you experience the infinite power of God.
