God Is Too BIG to Fit in Little Brains

"We cover our deep ignorance with words, but we are ashamed to wonder, we are afraid to whisper 'mystery.'" -- The Knowledge of the Holy, p. 18

If God were small enough to fit inside my head, what kind of a tiny God would He be? If He didn't leave me with a sense of awe, wonder and mystery, would He still be the all-powerful and all-knowing God we profess?

I don't think so, and apparently neither does A.W. Tozer (the author of the quoted book).

So, God is too big to fit in our little brains. BUT, this shouldn't make us feel confused or intimidated, this fact should remind us to embrace the sense of wonder and mystery of God.

If God is really big and really powerful, then I am really not going to understand sometimes. And that is beautiful.
