Oh Almighty God, indeed You are a wild God. Your beginning does not exist and You have no end. You seek no council and Your decisions are perfect. Men want to define You and control You. There are those who would put You in a box and put You on display as they have assessed who You are. Yet that is foolishness. There are no molds for You. You are who You are and You will be who You will be. There is only one God, none before You and none after You. None stands beside You, none resides above You, none can sneak up behind You, none can undermine You and none can stand before You and prevent Your going forth. Men domesticate animals and make them into something they can understand. Men want to domesticate You. They say to us “This is God” and put their image of You on display for us. They know nothing. You, oh God, cannot be contained, defined, controlled or limited. You, oh God, are not a wild animal that can be domesticated to obey their will or to fit their feeble image of You. Men do not change You, as if You needed to be changed. You change men. You are perfect and there are no imperfections to remove. It is You who change men to move them to be more like You, perfect. Precious Lord, it is blasphemous to remake You. It is arrogance and ignorance that motivates the effort. We do not define You, You define us. That is as it should be. You, my Lord and my God, are indeed a wild God.
2 Corinthians 4:6-7 – “For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ. 7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.”
