Mystery and paradox

Some snippets from today's lunchtime reading of The Jesus of Suburbia:

We have made a god out of our intellects. We worship God only when he makes sense. God reveals himself as a God we will never figure out. And yet we can know him intimately. That paradox sets us free.-Chapter 7

God is bigger than, more powerful than and more majestic than we can grasp. We can not understand the fullness of Him nor the ways in which He works. However, this is the God we should worship, not the small piece of Him which we THINK we understand.
