I realize that we cant completely comprehend God--He is just too big. I get boggled just trying to picture what the Holy Spirit, Jesus and the Father are going to look like in Heaven!?--let alone how He created all this earth in just 6 days. Man will always try to say this and that about our creator--But We wont know fully until that day when our advocate meets us and says "well done good and faithful servant, now enter into the joy of your Lord! Waay! I realize that we cant completely comprehend God–He is just too big.

I imagine he laughs alot at what we think and the ideas we hold, I would. I can picture it in my head "ha, ha, ha....now let me tell you something....." I think when we see Him face to face we get a glimpse of just how little we understand and know about Him. How foolish we can be to think we understand Gods world! Alls I can say is lead me on cause I am blind , Lord! Do you ever picture God laughing at you, I do. I imagine he laughs alot at what we think and the ideas we hold, I would.

The granduer of God must always be growing our hearts and minds. He is infinitely and wholely other than our greatest thought about him.

Your entry helps me appreciate the humble, lowly place we need to find as we seek to trusy Him more completely.

I realize that I put God in boxes- all different of MY sizes and MY colors- more often than I thought. I am obedient in areas that are easy and then tell Him what He should do in areas of my life that I want to have control over. Good stuff, Ryan, good stuff... This so hit home for me.

It is so true that just when we think we have it all figured out, who God is, how he works, that's when he throws it right into our face and drop us to our knees in humility.
