Some days, when I head out for my morning walkabout, I look north at the Catalina Mountains; I am reminded of Psalm 121 – “to whom do I look, where do I look, what will I see?” In those hills I see and hear the voice of God who is talking to me. Of all the things that I have written about, His infinite nature is immensely challenging. Everything we know, feel, smell, see and imagine has limits and boundaries. I suspect the notion of infinite is a bit contradictory to the way that we process information. But try we must, for scriptures is noticeably clear that God is infinite.

The “eternal God is my refuge, and underneath are His everlasting arms” (Deuteronomy 33:27 paraphrased).
The idea of no beginning and no ending leads me to the concept of eternal. When I wrap my mind around the notion of an eternal God, I immediately place God in an entirely different class of being (not human, not handmade, no authority above God, not a figment of my imagination).
