Discoveries by Dwight Clough

I subscribe to the Discovery devotionals and would encourage you to do the same. Here is a sample of what Dwight sends out each and every day.



No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only, who is at the Father's side, has made Him known. John 1:18How do you squeeze the universe small enough so you can hold it in your hand? How do you put all the oceans of the world in a single bottle? If it were left up to us to find God, we would be in big trouble. How could we hope to know anything about Him in a year, in 70 years, in 6,000 years? It would be like counting the fish in the Pacific ocean, one by one, hoping we didn't miss any. That's why we learn the truth: No one has ever seen God. Our eyes aren't big enough. Our heart isn't pure enough. Our life isn't enduring enough to see God, unless God wants to be seen.But God wants to be seen. He wants to be known. He wants to fill our little hearts with the knowledge of Him. And He knows you can't pour the ocean into a teacup. So He gives us a drink instead from the Water of Life.What amazes me is how effortless, how automatic, how easy Jesus makes it seem -- every moment of His life was a miracle as He declared to us: This is who God is.God is not at the end of our quest; we are at the end of His quest. We didn't find Him; He found us. One night my son was looking for something. He was getting quite frustrated because he had no idea where it was. My wife walked in the room, and started laughing."What is it? Why are you laughing?" my son wanted to know. But then he started laughing. What he was looking for was right in front of him all the time.So it is with God. Jesus has placed the unknowable right in front of us. God means to be discovered.

Be encouraged!Dwight
