A god who never surprises us nor could ever surprise us, a god we could know perfectly well,
whose every move we could predict, who has no secrets, so there’s no mystery, no confusion, no missing pieces, is not the God of the Scriptures
For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
 neither are your ways my ways,
 declares the LORD.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth
 so are my ways higher than your ways
 and my thoughts than your thoughts (Isa. 55:8-9)
- the only gods that never surprise us are the ones we make
Their idols are silver and gold,
 the work of human hands.
