Your God is too Safe

There are some books that I reread because they have been a blessing to me. Books by Mark Buchanan fall into that group.
Why is it that we want a safe God? Is it because we want to have a god that we can control rather than a God that controls us? Are we afraid to break out of our comfort zone? We want a god that is love but not wrathful. When we say God is good we like to use our own definition of what is good.
When something good happens some people say "it is a God thing", but if God is sovereign, and He is, then all that happens to us is a "God thing". Maybe we secretly desire a safe god, a comfortable god but not the Holy Wild. Remember, God is not safe but He is good.
