An Explosion of Words

I love your pictures of the sea and the mountains. I love your photos of forests, flowers, and every kind of creature. Now imagine we lived in a time before cameras. How would you help me see that sunrise? How would you portray that platypus? Our family recently played the game Catch Phrase; it's so hard to describe even the simplest things.

Now here's a challenge: describe God. Isaiah, a great Old Testament prophet, makes a good effort in Isaiah 40. It's an explosion of words. But I come away feeling he barely scratched the surface. How do you describe the Indescribable? Now, we know in part; now, we see a reflection in a mirror. One day we'll see fully; one day we'll see face-to-face. How awesome will that be? There aren't enough words!
