He replied, “Why do you ask my name? It is beyond
understanding.” Judges 13.18
Manoah, the father of Samson, has asked the name of the
angel of the Lord. His answer is as above. The Hebrew for the phrase “beyond understanding”
is “wonderful”. It is the name of the One who would come as Mighty God.
God is as His name. He is wonderful and He is beyond
understanding.
What an incredible, yes truly unbelievable truth it is that
this wonderful God, who is quite beyond human understanding has chosen me to be
His son. Furthermore, in this sonship I receive freely from Him, and familial
qualities are available to me as I allow Him to work in me, to prepare me and
refine me and make me, more and more, to conform to His image.
Lord God,
I worship You. I adore
You. I come to You and say, O Wonderful One, You who are beyond my
understanding, I do not need understanding to know that my life can only exist
in You. I give myself to You. I ask You to draw me close. Show me something of
the wonder of You. Give me more of You.
Lord, wonderful God, I
applaud You. I kneel before You a in the fullness of Your grace and ask You to
fill me to overflowing,
in
Jesus’ name. Amen.
