It’s 18:22 (GMT +1) and my music library is on random play. This song titled ‘What Do I Know of Holy’ by Addison road streams into the air from my sound system. After a day of lots of event, some pleasant some not, I’m here listening to a song questioning my heart about what do I know about the fundamental Being of my existence. I’m lost for words because the truth is what really do I know of a great God I can’t and would never be able to comprehend his greatness.
Question: what do I know of Holy?
Action: I’m really thinking . . . .
Conclusion: nothing
Most of us do really think we know God but the truth is the moment we think we’ve had him figured out proves that we don’t even have an idea of who our God is. A scripture comes to mind. It talks about the people of God after failing to honor God in their futility reducing the same God to images or ideas they have come to know over time .(Rom 1:23)
Here is the point; sometimes we call God our father. Yes he is. But that does not mean we have all his duties as father figured out just like our earthly father. He is more than that. He is the ideal Father we don’t know and we have never imagined (Eph 3:20).
What would happen to us if we only grasped a fragment of who God is?
I ask again what would happen.
We would live in the awe of that knowledge of him
The knowledge of the Holy One
Sin would not be an excuse
We would daily long (in fact every second) for that place he has gone to prepare for us in Heaven.
His passion would be ours.
And then we would always say to our self this is just the beginning. The beginning of the revelation of the knowledge of the Holy one.
‘I know nothing’ you would hear yourself whisper
‘I am nothing’ you would say from time to time.
‘You are everything’ we would whisper to him all along.
Yeah.
He is Everything.
The Everything we know nothing of.
The Everything we are nothing compared to
The Everything I ask myself right now what do I know something of.
I leave you with the lyrics to this great song courtesy Jesushideoutfreak.com
Lyrics:
I’ve made you promises a thousand times
I’ve tried to hear from heaven but I talk the whole time
I think I made you too small, I’ve never feared you at all
If you touched my face would I know you?
Looked into my eyes could I behold you?
What do I know of you who spoke me into motion
Where have I even stood but the shore along your ocean?
Are you fire, are you fury
Are you sacred, are you beautiful
What do I know? What do I know of holy?
I guess I thought that I had you figured out
I knew all the stories and I learned to talk about
How you were mighty to save
But those were only empty words on a page
Then I caught a glimpse of who you might be
The slightest hint of you brought me down to my knees
What do I know of you who spoke me into motion
Where have I even stood but the shore along your ocean?
Are you fire, are you fury
Are you sacred, are you beautiful
What do I know? What do I know of holy?
What do I know of Holy?
What do I know of wounds that will heal my shame?
And a God who gave life its name
What do I know of Holy?
Of the One who the angels praise
All creation knows your name
On earth and heaven above
What do I know of this love?
What do I know of you who spoke me into motion
Where have I even stood but the shore along your ocean?
Are you fire, are you fury
Are you sacred, are you beautiful
oh what do i know
what do i know of Holy
