Mysterious and Exquisite

~~~ 1 Timothy 3:14-16 ~~~ Psalm 111 ~~~ Luke 7:31-35 ~~~
 
God is mysterious and exquisite in all of his ways. 
 
Undeniably great is the mystery of devotion...
 
No matter where you turn
you are surrounded by the wondrous works of the Lord.
No matter how small or how great; we are part of the mystery.

Great are the works of the LORD,
exquisite in all their delights. 
 
All of creation gives testimony to the mystery of God.
All of creation gives testimony to just how exquisite God really is.

The human body itself is both mysterious and exquisite.
The more we learn about our body the more we believe there is to learn.
The more we learn about the universe the more we want to investigate.

It is precisely the mystery of God that motivates us
to desire more understanding.
It is his ability to create things that are exquisite
 that keeps us searching and longing for more.

What visual comes to your mind when you hear the word exquisite?

Is it the human body...a piece of diamond jewelry...a work of art...
is it a beaded bridal gown...a tropical island...
a brilliant sunset...the harmony of a symphonic orchestra...
The list could go on for pages.


When something is wonderful, great, marvelous,
fantastic, or amazing the single word we use is exquisite.  

The dictionary says to be exquisite means to be very finely done,
very beautiful or delicate, marked by flawless craftsmanship.
Exquisite also means very intense as in acute excruciating pain.

How great are the works of the Lord!

While God will always remain a mystery
he constantly provides us with examples of the exquisite.

How great is the mystery of our devotion to God...mysterious, yet he has
instilled within each of us an appreciation for the exquisite.

Great are the works of the LORD,
exquisite in all their delights. 


Typically in literature many clues
are included to help you solve the mystery.
God drenches us with exquisite clues,
but we will never solve the mystery of God.

We can receive our daily Blessings;
for he makes the power of his works known to us.
 
The Lord is exquisite in his majesty and glory.
