My dad told me many years ago that he knew just enough about God to know that he did not know anything. I thought it kind of a silly statement at the time thinking...well dad...all you have to do is read your Bible ... How naive of me.
I think I am now beginning to get to that place. The more I see, the more I read, the more I meditate on the Lord, the more wonderously incredible and so infintely, mysteriously and beautifully beyond knowing He becomes to me.
9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.

Romans 11:33-36
32 For God has consigned all to disobedience, that he may have mercy on all.
33 Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!
34 "For who has known the mind of the Lord,
or who has been his counselor?"
or who has been his counselor?"
35 "Or who has given a gift to him
that he might be repaid?"
that he might be repaid?"
36 For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.
Psalms 8:3-4
3 When I consider your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place,
4 what is man that you are mindful of him,
the son of man that you care for him?
the son of man that you care for him?

5 Great is our Lord and mighty in power;
his understanding has no limit.
his understanding has no limit.
Genesis 22:16-18
16 and said, "I swear by myself, declares the LORD, that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son,
17 I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies,
18 and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me."
I will make the descendants of David my servant and the Levites who minister before me as countless as the stars of the sky and as measureless as the sand on the seashore.' "
