How do we look at God? Like a mystery we canny understand!

How do we look at God?  Like a mystery we cannot understand!

This may sound like an in-depth investigation into the essence of God, but it is a real understanding of what man thinks God is about.  We know who God is, but do we really know God in the essence of his immortality?  

It is easy to place God in a sequential level of administration; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit from a finite imagination.  Some unlearned people may even place their position in a descending order like a business hierarchy.   However, it can be another mystery that behooves even the most articulate mind trying to understand what the Trinity is all about.  Then this will become another question that may never be answered.  

The question, then, is placing the entire universe and all the ramifications involved with the countless galaxies and planets that even this universe has not revealed to the best scientists and astronomers.   Reading about God’s triumphant kingdom and a throne that the Father is sitting upon asks where he is in the connection of the universe as well as this tiny planet and humanity that dwells here simultaneously.  Of course we must be careful not to put God in a box where upon our questions of what or why is opening the mysterious enclosure we put God expecting an answer that will satisfy us.  Yet, there we have another mystery that probably will never be open like a book with the answers on the back page.  

Eternity is perhaps the most intricate mystery that the finite mind can not ascertain since God is eternal.  Since God is the eternal essence of himself, it also was and is the totality of the Holy Trinity that comprises the divinity of the One God who is eternal as well.  

God himself created the visible world in all its richness, diversity, and order.  Scripture presents the work of the Creator symbolically as a succession of six days of divine work, concluded by the rest of the seventh day.  On the subject of creation, the sacred text teaches the truths revealed by God for our salvation, permitting us to recognize the inner nature of God.  (CCC 337).

Nothing exists that does not owe its existence to God the Creator.  The world began when God's word drew it out of nothingness;  all existent beings, all nature, and all human history are rooted in this primordial event, the very genesis by which the world was constituted and time began.  (CCC 338).

A premise of how or what the entire cosmos, our small planet, and of course humanity simply requires our obedience to God’s word and realizes that God is All.   That should suffice our questioning about the Lord who also created man’s mind with questions he can understand and acceptance to those he cannot.
