Our God is so wonderful and I want to know Him better. This I cannot do without Christ teaching me through His Word so I need to study His Word more and more. I need Jesus' Holy Spirit to teach me daily.

When we think of the magnitude of God we must join David in saying, "Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable (inconceivable, beyond knowing)” [Psalm 145:3]. His Word reveals to us such a depth of treasures unexplored, mines that are unsearchable and riches of wisdom that far surpass our finite ability to conceive of. 
Can we, in any way, comprehend the condescending love of God that conceived such a plan for our redemption? It is mind-boggling and overwhelming! The Creator of heaven and earth was made in the likeness of man, took upon Himself the form of a servant, and was obedient unto death, even the humiliating death of the cross at the hands of sinful men whom He created. Mankind could never have conceived such a glorious provision, much less performed it. His love transcends the vilest sin of man: "Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound" [Romans 5:20]. 
Then God provided a perfect righteousness in His Son, Jesus Christ. He fulfilled all the precepts of the law, suffered its penalties and by His own obedience unto death, to "bring in an everlasting righteousness" [Dan. 9:24]. "But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption" [1 Cor. 1:30]. The vilest of sinners, when he truly believes in the atonement of Christ, becomes possessed of righteousness, not of his own, but a righteousness in which he stands before God without spot or blemish...in the righteousness of the "Lamb that was slain." Thus we are clothed in the righteousness of Jesus Christ, our Savior. Amazing grace of our wonderful Lord which is beyond our understanding. We stand in awe and in the wonder of it all. "The ways of God are past finding out" [Romans 11:33]. Isaiah was lost in the wonders of God. "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the! Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts" [sa. 55:8-9]. We must guard ourselves against lowering the standard of God’s Word to our level of understanding or political correctness. And we must guard ourselves against raising the standards of our traditions above the standard of His Word. The Bible is not meant to be paraded past the judgment bar of your mind. You can argue with it, but why? 
“For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” [Hebrews 4:12] You can pick up any other book and read it, but this is the book that reads you. It pulsates with life and power. It cuts, burns, crushes, and wields mountain-moving, life-changing power that impacts eternity. His Word has a life of its own. It is the voice of God to you. You cannot refuse it, deny it, distort it, or dilute it. You can only bow before it. Each of us has experienced the wonders of His Grace in our own lives! What is there in any of us that we should warrant His concern, care, or consideration? Do we, in any way, merit God's love or any measure of His mercy and grace? Yet He is "not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance" [2 Peter 3:9]. He has done everything necessary for our redemption. We must accept this undeserving gift of salvation through Jesus Christ [John 3:16]. We cannot understand or conceive God’s boundless love and mercy, but we can turn with contrite hearts and receive all He has provided in Christ. Great are the mysteries of God, "His ways are past finding out!" To behold the majesty of God in any measure is to be lost in the wonder of it all. To God be the glory...great things He has done! [“To God Be The Glory” -Fanny J. Crosby]

God is much bigger than we can imagine. God's Truth sheds light to show how small our problems, sickness, stituations, circumstance, trials and tribulations are compared to Him. Therefore, we trust by putting the battle in the Hands of the Lord, there will be Victory in Jesus. For God is Faithful. He Is.

Thank the Lord that the Spirit reveals to us as he wills.

It is beyond me to know how God works, only that He loves me, and that is enough.

That could be prayer in praise of god.
