"Deuteronomy 10:21 He is your praise; he is your God, who performed for you those great and awesome wonders you saw with your own eyes."
Is this our God? This indescribable wonder that continues to shake up and burst through our lives? Who is moving and shaking our tiny, inadequate minds to somehow understand we are selfish, needy, and desperately fallen short, but desperately in need of Him?
Yet we continue to try to paint His image on a canvas, and explain his deep complexities after reading a book about it?
We chose a topic, read verses with the key word in them, and use God's work as a paste to fill in the gaps of our theories. His word is a filler, to prove our point. We generalize, we guess, we assume so much about God, and who he is.
God is overly surmised to be the safe, comfortable God we need him to be.
Can we, can I stop trying to shove this explosively wonderful God into a box? Stop trying to contain His person to fit the struggle, question, or feelings I am currently having?
God is more.
God is huge.
I am small.
