No, I will not unleash my fierce anger.
        I will not completely destroy Israel, 
for I am God and not a mere mortal.
        I am the Holy One living among you,
        and I will not come to destroy.

— Hosea 11:9 NLT

Insight
“I am God and not a mere mortal.” It is easy for us to define God in terms of our own expectations and behavior. In so doing, we make him just slightly larger than ourselves. In reality, God is infinitely greater than we are.
Challenge
We should seek to become like him rather than attempting to remake him in our image.
