No one can measure the depths of His understanding - Isaiah 40:28
So here I am, sitting in a shopping mall food court. My body is tense and my stomach knotted. My to-do list is long and my progress this particular day is disappointing. Unexpected complications have brought delays and I'm fretting over the deadlines ahead: a radio show to plan, an article to write, the myriad details of a national project I'm coordinating.
I unwrap my burger, take a bite, and for a few minutes, I am forced to pause. Busy people rush around me, fretting over their own deadlines. And I am struck by humanity's infinitude. We are limited beings--limited in time, energy, ability, and capacity.
And while everything in me wants to write a new to do list--prioritize it in order of importance, asterisk the urgent tasks, and underline those to be done together--another thought enters my mind:
A thought of One who is infinite (Isaiah 40:25)
A Being who is unlimited
A Person who effortlessly melds the desire to do and the ability to accomplish.
Stress, rush, and strain are never good for one's health, but on this day they deliver a powerful lesson. The unlimited God is not like me. He accomplishes everything He wishes. I finish my burger, pause once more. And silently worship.
