God is not like anything

Majesty unspeakable, my soul desires to behold Thee. I cry to Thee from the dust. 
Yet when I inquire after Thy name it is secret. Thou art hidden in the light which no man can approach unto. What Thou art cannot be thought or uttered, for Thy glory is ineffable.


Still, prophet and psalmist, apostle and saint have encouraged me to believe that I may in some measure know Thee. Therefore, I pray, whatever of Thyself Thou hast been pleased to disclose, help me to search out as treasure more precious than rubies or the merchandise of fine gold: for with Thee shall I live wen the stars of the twilight are no more and the heavens have vanished away and only Thou remainest. Amen.
-A.W Tozer


What a low view I have of God, to lower Him to think that He is like creation.
Indeed, I cannot know Him except through the way which He has ordained, Jesus Christ.
Downplay all your confidence in intellect and effort, but look to Him in faith and love.
LORD, it is truly a joy to behold and delight in You through your Word. 
And in Your divine attributes, in You yourself I find rest. I repent.
