Prayer again last night yielded a 'run' on thoughts geared to FULLNESS.
1. Fullness of God and all His attributes. How exhausting this is to not be able to comprehend all His attributes of their fullness! And that God is complete in all of them. A truly mesmerizing, thought provoking, heart searching, mind yielding to how great is our God, the Lord God Almighty.
2. Fullness of time - for us time is complete, whether our lifetime, or generations or the whole of time since God stepped out and said, 'Let time begin.' Fullness of 400 years for Israel to be in Egypt; fullness of 70 years the land had rest while the captives were away at Babylon; fullness of each dispensation of law, grace, church. God has all this in His hands.
3. Fullness of creation - of His people, purpose, and all that is found in the earth that He created; He knows each stone, each water drop, each snow flake, each animal, He knows the fullness of all HIs creation. In us as His people, He has our fullness in His hand and thoughts, He knows how many hairs we have, how many breaths we take, the intents of our hearts, the actions of our lives, our words, He knows all for all 7 billion souls on the earth. Thsi is the fullness of God's omnipresence, and omnipotence.
4. Fullness of Your ways, O God - complete, perfect in all fullness for His glory. Consider again attributes and aspects of who He is. Fullness in holy, perfection, entire in all ways of salvation, redemption, santicfication, justification, glorificeation.
5. Fullness of being filled with the Spirit - 'Be ye not drunk with wine, wherein is excess, but be filled with the Spirit of God.' And they souls in the upper room were filled on the day of Pentecost. It is necessary and needful for us to understand this, seek for it, find it and walk with Him in it.
6. Fullness of the cup of wrath - each sin, each actions taken by men against God, puts another drop of indignation in the cup of His wrath. And when that cup is full, He pours His retribution upon the souls of the wicked. I often think while I am in prayer, that if the sin of a nation, people, family, or myself, or His church, puts drops into the cup; how much our prayers and intercession take drops out as we seek His mercy, forgiveness and cleansing. But if no souls are seeking His forgiveness, then no drops are taken out, and it fills up that much faster. You think your prayers of confession have no merit? Think again, on the cup of wrath and what happens when it is full.
7. Fullness of the earth - filled with His glory; Glorify Thy Name in all the earth. Every aspect, as in the creation emphasis, we see that this earth is the Lord's and the fullnes thereof.
