It is my belief that God is bigger than our brains. God is bigger than everything. God is beyond our abilities to manage and control him and we should stop trying.
Isaiah 55:9 says, "My ways are higher than your ways, my thoughts are higher than your thoughts."
Richard Rohr said, “I would not respect any God that I could figure out” St. Augustine of Hippo (354–430) said the same: “If you understand it, then it is not God.”
Maybe instead of spending our lives trying to captivate and force God into a box, we should fall into the arms of a Father who is infinitely wiser and more gracious. A God who welcomes us in our brokenness.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
