[TruthTalk] Lord God Thou Knowest - Food for Thought

[Judy Taylor]

Lord, God, Thou Knowest   "And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live?  And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest". - Ezekiel 37:3       To those who have (unintentionally) degraded their conception of God to the level of their human understanding it may appear frightening to admit that there are many things in the Scriptures and more things about the Godhead that transcend the human intellect.  But a few minutes on our knees looking into the face of Christ will teach us humility, a virtue whose healing qualities have been known by God's elect from time out of mind.       Coleridge gave it as his considered belief that the profoundest sentence ever uttered by human lips was the spontaneous cry of the prophet Ezekiel in the valley of dry bones when asked by the Lord whether those bones could live: "And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest." Had Ezekiel answered yes or not he would have closed off his heart to the mighty mystery which confronted him and would have missed the luxury of wonder in the presence of the Majesty on high.  For never forget that it is a privilege to wonder, to stand in the delighted silence before the Supreme Majesty and whisper, "O Lord GOD, thou knowest!"   A.
