Knowing God

Job 36:26, "Behold God is great, and we do not know Him; nor can the number of His years be discovered."
When I read this verse, I went into this almost state of shock saying, "God, how is it possible? I search and seek You and try to find You, and now I know that I can't know You. That's not even fair. I just want to know You God!"
And God spoke to me and said, "I have so much more to teach you. Once you think you know Me, I will show you another piece of Me, because I am too vast to show you all of Me at once." I was reminded of Exodus 33:18-20. In this passage of scripture, Moses is asking for God to show him God's glory. And God responds with, "You cannot see My face; for no man shall see Me, and live."
There is so much more to learn about God. We cannot know everything about God or we would surely die, because there is too much. He is too great, He is so far beyond our wildest imaginations! To even try to get a glimpse of that is crazy. But as we seek Him day in and day out, we can continue to get to know Him, and begin to understand new aspects of Him.
I know at times I've thought I've known a lot about God and there wasn't much left to be known, but I was rudely shaken awake with that verse in Job. God said, "There is MORE! Don't get satisfied with what you know, dig deeper! Go deeper!"And this is the place I'm at today, to go deeper with God.
