“Behold, God is great, and we know him not; the number of his years is unsearchable.” (Job 36:26) It is impossible to know God too well. He is the most important person who exists. And this is because he made all others, and any importance they have is owing to him.Any strength or intelligence or skill or beauty they have comes from him. On every scale of excellence, he is infinitely greater than the best person you ever knew or ever heard of. It is therefore astonishing how little effort is put into knowing God. It’s as though the President of the United States came to live with you for a month, and you only said hello in passing every day or so. Or as if you were flown at the speed of light for a couple of hours around the sun and the solar system, and instead of looking out the window, you played a computer game. Or as if you were invited to watch the best actors, singers, athletes, inventors, and scholars perform their best, but you declined to go so you could watch the TV season’s final soap. John Piper
