Truth or Consequence

I wrote earlier this year about a book by A. W. Tozer called The Pursuit of God.  I enjoyed it and am now reading one of his earlier books, The Knowledge of the Holy.  Tozer will be revealing attributes of God throughout the book, but in Chapter 3, he talks about what an attribute is and what an attribute is not.  He defines it as "whatever God has in any way revealed to be true of Himself".  God can choose to reveal those truths to us through his creations, or He can reveal them directly to us through prayer and meditation.  Understanding that God is infinite, there are certainly truths that we will never know until we meet Him face to face.  But we should be assured, that God delights in our seeking to find these attributes on a daily basis, and He will only reveal them to us in His perfect timing.
