Simply Indescribable

Simply Indescribable Okay. You totally had to have been there to get the full effect of this one. Try as I might, I want to give you a vision, a glimpse into what it was like. Here we go. On the go for a long weekend, the plan was to pick up my niece. The secretive plan did not reveal itself as my niece rode a great distance for me to “take her to eat”. A game developed from my secrecy as she tried to guess our destination. Her attention was held captive to our made-up game. A telephone call from my sister interrupted the game. Onward I drove. Suspense from the call and length of the trip got the best of my niece. Oh, no! What to do now? Ah, be funny. To divert my niece from asking difficult questions and as an attempt to be funny, I dried my teeth. (No, my dental hygienist’s status is not playing a factor here.) I dried my teeth and curled my lip to make it stick on my gums. As I turned to look at my niece, laughter ensued and a new game was invented. The game lasted for miles. Infectious laughter erupted like the fizz from a shaken soda-pop bottle. Tears streamed down my niece’s cheek as she said through her belly-laughter, “Your teeth look like a groundhog’s when you do that!” Minutes turned into an hour of genuine joy in such a simple act. The days leading to the trip gave bright, sunny, warm afternoons with the birds singing their praises. The trees waved their branches in worship to the day’s simple beauty. The clouds like that of soft cotton puffs spaced themselves to let the dazzling aquamarine sky shine more beautifully than any jewel. Amazing. Simply amazing. The beauty of God’s creations overwhelmed the senses. Knowing that God cared enough to arrange the symphony of a wonderful Spring day causes the finite mind to have difficulty grasping the simplicity of His love for us. Simple. Yet we often look for God in the big things: finances, healings, job situations, life, and death. We look for the miraculous when we can see Him in the simple things: contagious laughter, a sunrise, the sunset, the warmth of the day, the coolness of night. He simply is. Deut. 10:21 “He is your praise; he is your God, who performed for you those great and awesome wonders you saw with your own eyes.” Psalm 66:5 “Come and see what God has done, how awesome his works in man’s behalf!” Psalm 145:3-5 “Great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom. 4 One generation will commend your works to another; they will tell of your mighty acts. 5 They will speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty, and I will meditate on your wonderful works.” Psalm 119:129-130 “Your statutes are wonderful; therefore I obey them. 130 The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.” Although the delightful laughter and reflection came from the simple, the simple was used for understanding. The simple gave lightheartedness. The simple made God seen, revealed in all His splendor. Oh, to be able to describe the joy and wonder! It is Simply Indescribable. May God give you some simple act or vision to realize His awesome power and love today.
