The Conclusions of an Infinite God

Yesterday we wrote about the difference between seeing an infinite versus limited God

 

Today we write about The Conclusions of an Infinite God!

In other words:

 

When we realize God is infinite, an amazing change in our perception of God’s interaction with us unfolds!

 

To begin with, let me share a story I heard from the person who it happened to:

 

Rabbi Avrohom as a young man once asked the Lubavitcher Rebbe, our great master teacher and guide – “I find it hard to believe the Chassidic interpretation that God supervises personally every detail of creation (in other words, does he really personally want to see how a blade of grass or a worm at the bottom of the ocean is doing?)” To which the Rebbe replied “I find it hard to believe otherwise! – you see, if a person creates a factory, he certainly wants to know what’s going on; but the larger the factory gets, the more limited his supervision skills; hence, he needs to hire managers, foremen etc. etc. but if he could, he certainly would supervise everything! – and because God can, certainly he does!!”

 

So we see, how we anthropomorphize! – we fail to appreciate the infinity of God’s ability – infinite ability is not more ability than us, rather, it is an infinite ability, with no end or limit – a good example of course is from a computer, whose infinite ability to do math allows it to literally allow tens of thousands of people network into a single CPU that has the “mind” to be able to process all the literally trillions of mathematical equations per second necessary to fulfill all the quests the users have!
