After reading Randy Elrod's blog (viewable HERE) on words and what words have impacted us, I couldn't help but jump to a phrase I saw back in March. They were on the wall of the Orpheus Cafe on Ft. Myers Beach. Which is actually a really cool environment to go hear some jazz music. And has great Pizza! But I digress...
"A Comprehended God is not God..."
These words struck me unexpectedly hard. How often do we try to comprehend God and put Him in our box? What in the world makes us think that we could possibly start to understand the vast reaches of God and all his facets?
Should we study His words and talk to Him and grow closer in a relationship with Him? Of course. But to be so brash as to try to COMPREHEND [To take in the meaning, nature, or importance of; grasp with the mind; perceive] God...
My God is bigger than what my small mind can perceive. And I love it.
I love that He knows the future and the past and still chooses to love me. I love that He knows the secrets of the stars and was able to breathe them into existence. These are facts that I know and LOVE about my God... But I won't ever fully comprehend them. That's His job.
What words hit a special chord in your heart?

Welcome to the Watercooler! Great post. Somehow though, I found your blog when you posted about Mamma Mia. I still want to know about you being famous..will you write and tell me?
I love it too, that God's got my back, he knows the beginning and the end and I can't wait to see what else He has for me.
