Hosea 11:9
New International Version (NIV)
9 I will not carry out my fierce anger,
nor will I devastate Ephraim again.
For I am God, and not a man—
the Holy One among you.
I will not come against their cities.
"For I am God, and not a man." 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. We should seek to become like Him rather than attempting to remake Him in our image.
