Deep Things

"Can you search out the deep things of God? Can you find out the limits of the Almighty? They are higher than heaven--what can you do? Deeper than Sheol--what can you know? Their measure is longer than the earth And broader than the sea."
- Job 11:7-9

I was reading through Job yesterday, and this jumped out at me. According to 1 Corinthians 2:10, we can know the deep things of God by His Spirit. These deep things are higher than heaven, deeper than hell, and more vast than the ocean. In other words, they are immeasurable. However, we, God's kids, can know them. This tells me that there is more to life than going to church, reading your Bible, and praying for your friends. There is great power in these, but God is infinite. If God is infinite, then life in Christ has infinite possibilities and experiences. No eye has seen them, no ear has heard of them , and no mind has conceived them.

What are the deep things of God? I don't think God is going to just hand them over. He wants us to pursue Him into realms that violate our understanding.

"It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings is to search out a matter."
- Proverbs 25:2

"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways," says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts."
- Isaiah 55:8-9

I want to know the deep things of God. I want to know what is in His heart. I want to experience Him. I want to know His thoughts. I want Him to violate my reasoning and understanding.

"I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places..."
- Isaiah 45:3
