scripture
Exodus 15:11
"Who among the gods is like you, O LORD ? Who is like you— majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders?”
quote
Christians often talk far too glibly and easily about God. “I have heard students,” says Professor Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy, “talking about the attributes of God in a way that made me feel ashamed. They knew everything ‘about’ God, except that he was listening to them. They showed no signs of shame. They were theological students.” Dietrich Bonhoeffer says more than once in his letters from prison that he finds a continually deepening meaning in the fact that the Israelites never allowed themselves to pronounce the name of God.
