Far
beyond the lofty
heights of the soaring eagle,
beyond
earth
and sky and unfathomable space,
veiled
from the
eyes of mortal men by clouds of impenetrable mystery,
Here, is
the dwelling
place
of the
Most High
and Exalted One.
He is
beyond the
din of the day
the
shroud
of the night, the winding of the seasons.
His
boundaries
are inscrutable,
the
sum of
His ways, incomprehensible.
He is
not measured
within the confines
of
creaturely
definition.
His
measure
is infinitude.
His dimensions are
goodness, mercy and love.
He is
quantity without
capacity
for
capacity
implies a limit.
His
limitlessness,
the garment
of His divine transcendence.
All
power to be,
is the power of He,
who
is omnipotent.
Life,
love, and
every energy
is
formed
through the conduit of His Sovereignty.
He
has no helpmate,
For He
is sufficient
within Himself.
Yet from
within
Himself,
He
spoke His
present company into creation.
The
bull does not
charge, the heron does not fish,
but
that He
has decreed it.
His
commands order
the establishment
of cause
and effect.
His
self-existence
insures
the
perpetuation
of our own eternity.
That He
changes
not,
grants
us hope to
endure the ravages of time.
The
High and Exalted
One, who is above all else,
reduces
time
and space to a habitation for His omnipresence.
…the
LORD
says: "Heaven is my throne,
and
the earth
is my footstool.
Where is
the house
you will build for me?
Where
will
my resting place be?”
