Some reading for the day

"But in fact, our images of God are rather different from reality. We are finite being, and God is infinitely greater than any thoughts we can contain about divine reality in our wondrous but tiny minds. We are sinful beings, and God is different from what we conceive in our selfishness and pride. Finite and self-centered as we are, we often forget God's warning through the prophet Isaiah; "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thought than your thoughts" (55:9) When we forget that, we unwittingly reduce God's ways to our ways and thoughts to our thoughts. Our hearts become factories of idols in which we fashion and refashion God to fit our needs and desires." -Free of Charge by Miroslav Volf pg 22.
