Stop trying to figure God out

In my morning devotional time, I just read a great quote from A.W. Tozer on the Holy Spirit. He said of the Spirit, "Knowledge by acquaintance is always better than mere knowledge by description, and the first does not presuppose the second nor require it." Following along the theme from my last post, too many intellectual Christians seem to be trying to figure God out. They contemplate, 'Why did He do this? What does it mean that this happened? What can we learn from this event?' I'd say we'd all be better off pursuing the relationship than the understanding.

How often do we desire to know more about who God is when we would benefit more from simply knowing Him?
