UNSEARCHABLE

Ps.145:1-3 – I will exalt You, my God, the King,
And I will bless Your name forever and ever.
Every day I will bless You,
And I will praise Your name forever and ever.
Great is the LORD, and highly to be praised;
And His greatness is unsearchable.

This passage is a great description of the true nature of worship. Jesus told us that God is a Spirit and He was searching for worshippers. I like to look at the life and ministry of Jesus as exactly that, He became a man in search of worshippers. Through the work of the Holy Spirit on earth today He is creating worshippers.
Worship begins when you discover God’s greatness and goodness for yourself. As you begin a life of worship something amazing and unexpected takes place, your perception of Him begins to escalate, who He is and what He is like becomes more and more real in your world. David was trying to describe that in today’s Psalm and comes to the conclusion that God is UNSEARCHABLE. The more the veil is pulled back the more magnificent He appears. Worship brings you to the edge of God’s glorious ocean, the bottomless ocean of God’s love. Here is how Spurgeon describes this verse.

“Song should be founded upon search; hymns composed without thought are of no worth, and tunes upon which no pains have been spent are beneath the dignity of divine adoration. Yet when we meditate most, and search most studiously we shall still find ourselves surrounded with unknowable wonders, which will baffle all attempts to sing them worthily. The best adoration of the Unsearchable is to own him to be so, and close the eyes in reverence before the excessive light of his glory. Not all the minds of all the centuries shall suffice to search out the unsearchable riches of God; he is past finding out; and, therefore, his deserved praise is still above and beyond all that we can render to him.”

So today let’s join in with David and say, “I will exalt You, my God, the King, and I will bless Your name forever and ever. Every day I will bless You, and I will praise Your name forever and ever”. This may sound foreign to some but once you begin to enter a lifestyle of worship that changes very quickly. What may start off as just singing songs may sneak up on you, if you get to close to the edge of God’s bottomless ocean you just might fall in.
