God Is Big, I Am Small

I've spent a lot of time today simply trying to look at myself honestly. I do this occasionally, but probably not as often as I should, and today I again found out why. When I take an honest look inside, I find a lot I don't like.
One thing in particular stood out to me today though. I realized that I have started to believe that all that God is has been put out there for me to get. That God has made it possible for man to understand him completely. As I think about this from an objective standpoint, I realize just how stupid it is. God is far, far too great for a mere mortal brain to understand, too big for a sinful heart to contain. I have at times been willing to embrace 'mystery' on some issues, and yet I see that I have unwittingly embraced the idea that if I try hard enough, if I study Scripture long enough, I could eventually have God figured out.
What I seem to have forgotten, however, that His judgements are unsearchable and His ways unscrutable (see Romans 11:33)! God is far too great to ever be 'figured out', and my existence far too small to fully grasp all that He is. It is folly of me to think otherwise.
At the same time, however, this 'unsearchable' God has made Himself known to us in Jesus. This does not mean that we will have Him figured out, 'for now we only see in a mirror dimly (1 Cor. 13:12).' However, God has made 'known to us the mystery of His will, according to His purpose, which He set forth in Christ...(see Eph. 1:9)', and thus we pursue Christ, in doing so pursue the Father, since Christ and the Father are one (see John 10:30). We have, in Scripture, all the vision of God we can have this side of heaven. That being the case, we must strive to better know and understand Him through the testimony of the sacred Scriptures, as fully as completely as we can. To know Him is to love Him. We must pursue a knowledge of God that is full and accurate. Oprah was wrong with her whole elephant example of religion. Every religion doesn't see the same God but in a different way. There is one way, and that way of seeing God is revealed in the Word that Christ has made powerful in us.
So what does this mean for me, in regard to the error I've fallen into? It means I embrace the God of the Bible as the only God, and devote all my time to knowing and loving Him. It also means that I embrace the fact that I cannot fully comprehend God as long as I am in this flesh, and instead pursue the knowledge of Him I find in Scripture. This is enough for me, because it is a testimony of His grace, and His grace is sufficient for me and for all of us.
