But more often, I try to fit God into a box that I can handle, a box that makes sense to my human understanding. I have to stop and remember that God is so much more than that. He is so much more than what my box of understanding can contain. He created this universe with mere words. He holds it all together even when it feels like my world is flying apart at the seams. He can't even be adequately described with earthly words because He is so much more than our little words can define. We use words like awesome and amazing but we turn around and use those same words to describe a pair of shoes or a new car because those words aren't big enough to encompass the greatness of our God.
Go outside and look around...really look. Find some nature around you, trees, birds, insects, squirrels, flowers, grass, the sky and clouds...things our God created with a word. Think of a new born baby, a miracle, the ocean, a river, mountains. So many wonders that He created for our enjoyment. He created these things for us. He doesn't need them, He has heaven...He made these things for us to show us what He can do and that He loves us and He wants our world to be beautiful and for us to find the beauty in it.
God is bigger than our box. We will never be eye to eye with Him because He's bigger than that. We are not God, we are not even gods and we never will be.
I have to be more careful to remember God as He is...not as I think He should be.
