Fringes

I can't stop thinking about this today. Latnight at DCB concert, Shane Barnard of Shane and Shane (I think - I was a little lost in the moment and dont remember the details) opened up the song 'Fringes' with a little personal info. I think he cleared out the room and spoke right to me which I felt pretty good about. He was talking from Job 26 which says "Behold, these are the fringes of His ways; And how faint a word we hear of Him! But His mighty thunder, who can understand?" (Job 26:14) In all the beauty and experiences and lessons that God gives us here on earth, it is but the fringes of the garment of Christ. Through our days here He reveals to us his full garment but it is only the fringes of his magestic coat that we see right now. How exciting is this! It just makes me so stinkin thankful for such a big God who knows how we work. He knows that in our own sin and self centerdeness we wouldnt be able to understand the fullness of who He is if it were thrown at us all at once. He reveals the full picture to us as we see Him more and get to know Him more and, more so, as we see Him in others. And we really won't even fathom or picture the fullness of is grace in this lifetime.
I can't work today (what is new) - and I could spend a few hours and blog space just playing with this thought.
Here is the part of the song that embodies the message:


He stretches out the north over empty space
And hangs the earth on nothing
And how faint a word we even hear of Him
And yet – our eyes and ears and minds get all the candy
I sing for grace
For grace it lets me sing
And all I’ve ever seen or heard
Or haven’t seen or heard
It’s His
There is no other
All of this is but the fringes
