1 Corinthians 15:18 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

Be subdued, be subject, and be all are states of being, conditions that exist. The first two are somewhat familiar to us as we at in that state of being, we are subdued and we are subject but it is God who is all and that is His state of being and His alone. We can only glimpse in part which does not change who God is in all, in His entirety, all that God is and does.

1 Corinthians 13:8-10 Charity (love) never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

I struggle with my limitations. I am sure that I am not alone in those feelings. Maybe you do maybe you don’t, but that is our state of being, our condition. It is not God’s condition. He is all in all and is not limited by our imperfections.

I have had human conversations with friends in which they have said to me, “I didn’t know that about you.” Relationships take time and discovering everything about another person would take a lifetime to reveal and for them to know you another, so given that we are not given two lifetimes, we will never learn all there is about our community of believers much less one person.

Since God is eternal, can you honestly say you know everything about who God is, all in all?

My desire in this devotional is to prevent us from lowering God from what He truly is to only those things we believe to be true.

Our beliefs too are in part.
