Mind Blown!
Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” (MKJV)
Isaiah 40:25–26 “To whom then will you compare Me, or am I be equaled? says the Holy One. Lift up your eyes on high, and behold, who has created these, who brings out their host by number? He calls them all by names by the greatness of His might, for He is strong in power; not one is lacking.” (MKJV)
Mind blown!
Mind-boggling!
These are expressions we hear regularly. Sometimes people use their hands as a means to interpret that their mind was blown along with the sound of an explosion.
What do these two very short sentences mean to our culture?
Occasionally, it can be true amazement over something experienced, heard, or seen. Other times it’s used as an expression of sarcasm about someone who didn’t get something they should have.
Of course, there can be other reasons for using the expression.
The reality is that our mind should be amazed or “blown” over God and His attribute. He is so much more than we could ever hope to be.
When God created the world, He spoke and it was. That, in and of itself, is mind-boggling and should blow the mind. No matter how much I want to speak something into existence I will never be able to do so. God created heaven, earth, everything in it and on it, all the heavenly bodies, and the universe simply by saying it will be… and it was.
What blows my mind (with hand movement and sound) is how He sustains every bit of life. From the tiniest atom to the biggest star, planet, universe, or whatever it is that is biggest in our domain. He not only sustains life but knows every single detail about every living and inanimate object. He is personally involved in each person’s life whatever happens.
Let’s break that down into information that is pertinent to us. We see the trees green in the summer, flowers blooming, little children running around screaming with excitement, little bugs scurrying all over the place, animals running to and fro, grass growing, clouds floating in the sky, the mama taking care of the house or out working, the dad at his work, the sick person praying, the goldfish swimming in the tank, etc., etc., etc. Each of these things is known by God. Each breath taken is given by God. Each thing that happens is allowed or directed by God. There is no exception.
That, my friend, is mind-blowing information (once again with hand movement and sound). What is even more exciting and boggling to the mind is that God cares enough to listen to my prayer, your prayer, and the prayer of every single person in this world. No one is too great or too small for Him. He could hear all of us at the same time. Mind blown!
Here is a depth that cannot be fathomed and a height that we can only wonder at. At the end of time, everyone will have to say:
“O Lord, You are worthy to receive glory and honor and power, because You created all things, and for Your will, they are and were created.” Rev. 4:11 (MKJV)
