Alphabet of Praise: U is for Understanding

U is for Understanding

Of absolute degree

That’s found in God Jehovah:

‘Tis boundless as the sea.

 

Search out this understanding;

Its depths you’ll plummet not.

So vast and wide its bound’ries,

No end can e’er be got!

 

And yet with longing heart cry

That ever seeks for Him,

He solaces the fainting

Who stumble in earth’s din.

 

By His own understanding

Do kings and princes rule;

He fills with holy wisdom

The humble, seeking soul.


Departing far from evil

Is understanding true:

This ever-flowing wellspring

Of life is offered you.


Infinite understanding

God offers in His Book;

Obey, then, Divine Wisdom:

To Christ its Author look!


Praise God with understanding

Of infinite delight.

Partaking of His fullness,

Walk thus in His own might!


At Petra:  massive rock layers

Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, 

that the everlasting God, the LORD, 

the Creator of the ends of the earth, 

fainteth not, neither is weary? 

there is no searching of his understanding.”

Isaiah 40:28
