We could say more but could never say enough;
let the final word be: ‘He is the all.’
Where can we find the strength to praise him?
For he is greater than all his works.
Awesome is the Lord and very great,
and marvellous is his power. (Sirach 43:27-29)
How do we communicate with a dog or cat?
How do we communicate with a horse or cow?
They may perceive certain broad purposes: threat, affection, source-of-food.
But beyond these generalities, whatever wisdom we may try to share they will seldom understand and only with rigorous training will they even notice.
The gap in understanding between God and each of us is at least as broad. And God does not train us to obey but inspires us to seek to understand.
