Too High to Count

How high can you count? That's often asked of little children as they learn to count. Truth is, none of probably know how high we can count. I suggest, however, we know how we CAN'T count! My pastor read the following verse this morning, and it wonder-struck me: "Many, LORD, my God, are the wonders which You have done, and Your thoughts toward us; there is no one to compare with You. If I would declare and speak of them, they would be too numerous to count." (Psalm 40:5 NASB). It's easy to confuse God's greatness with His goodness. Yes, of course, He is great and He is good but our definition of goodness is tainted by our own mortal measure, i.e. things we own or don't own, whether we have the health we desire, etc. God is great and He is good based on His character NOT whether we can count the blessings or not. Too numerous are the wonders of our great and good God. Rejoice in knowing the wonders of our God are simply ... too high to count!
