God is above and beyond

O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable [are] his judgments, and his ways past finding out! - Romans 11:33

How do you fully describe God?  As I read the Bible and find the snippets of the descriptions of God, I find that even these morsels of information are astounding to me.  I see why God parcels them out in small forms - they are so awesome that we could not process them with our finite minds.  I stop and meditate upon His transendent attributes and I must sit still and ponder in order to take it in.  This is pretty heady stuff for me, anyway - I'm the kind of person who gets amazed by the circuitry of our home's water heater.

This God of all the universe defies description. 

Here's what I'm trying to say... well, Isaac Newton puts it best.  Here is a good summery in his own words - 

“The supreme God exists necessarily, and by the same necessity He exists always and everywhere. Whence also He is all similar, all eye, all ear, all brain, all arm, all power to perceive, to understand, and to act; but in a manner not at all human, in a manner not at all corporeal, in a manner utterly unknown to us. 

As a blind man has no idea of colors, so have we no idea of the manner by which the all-wise God perceives and understands all things. He is utterly void of all body and bodily figure, and can, therefore neither be seen or heard or touched; nor ought He to be worshiped under the representation of any corporeal thing. 

We have ideas of His attributes but what the real substance of anything is we know not. In bodies we see only their figures and colors, we hear only the sound, we touch only their outward surfaces, we smell only the smells and taste the savors, but their inward substances are not to be known either by our senses or by any reflex act of our minds; much less, then, have we any idea of the substance of God. 

We know Him only by His most wise and excellent contrivances of things and final causes; we admire Him for His perfections, but we reverence and adore Him on account of His dominion, for we adore Him as His servants.”
