Colossians 3:1-3
"If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God."
Romans 11:33
"33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen."
Boundless, Unlimited, Infinite! Only God is boundless, unlimited in His resourcefulness and truly infinite.
Just So Stories by Rudyard Kipling: ...How the Whale Got His Throat
‘One at a time is enough,’ said the ‘Stute Fish. ‘If you swim to latitude Fifty North, longitude Forty West (that is magic), you will find, sitting on a raft, in the middle of the sea, with nothing on but a pair of blue canvas breeches, a pair of suspenders (you must not forget the suspenders, Best Beloved), and a jack- knife, one ship-wrecked Mariner, who, it is only fair to tell you, is a man of infinite-resource-and-sagacity.’

The Unity of God
Frederick W. Faber (1814-1863)One God! one Majesty!
There is no God but Thee!
Unbounded, unextended Unity!
Awful in unity,
O God! we worship Thee
More simply one, because supremely Three!
Dread, unbeginning One!
Single, yet not alone,
Creation hath not set Thee on a higher throne.
Unfathomable Sea!
All life is out of Thee,
And Thy life is Thy blissful Unity.
All things that from Thee run,
All works that Thou hast done,
Thou didst in honour of Thy being One.
And by Thy being One,
Ever by that alone,
Couldst Thou do, and doest, what Thou hast done.
We from Thy oneness come,
Beyond it cannot roam,
And in Thy oneness find our one eternal home.
Blest be Thy Unity!
All joys are one to me,—
The joy that there can be no other God than Thee!
There is no God but Thee!
Unbounded, unextended Unity!
Awful in unity,
O God! we worship Thee
More simply one, because supremely Three!
Dread, unbeginning One!
Single, yet not alone,
Creation hath not set Thee on a higher throne.
Unfathomable Sea!
All life is out of Thee,
And Thy life is Thy blissful Unity.
All things that from Thee run,
All works that Thou hast done,
Thou didst in honour of Thy being One.
And by Thy being One,
Ever by that alone,
Couldst Thou do, and doest, what Thou hast done.
We from Thy oneness come,
Beyond it cannot roam,
And in Thy oneness find our one eternal home.
Blest be Thy Unity!
All joys are one to me,—
The joy that there can be no other God than Thee!
Song: Be Magnified O Lord
