Divine Majesty and Mortal Limitation

Reflections on the theme "we cannot anger God and are not stronger than Him" emphasize the absolute supremacy of divine authority over human strength. In these reflections, man is portrayed as a most insignificant and fragile creature, deprived of even the slightest chance of resisting an omnipotent and mighty God. This expression indicates that any attempt to incite or challenge the divine will is tantamount to open opposition by an unprepared, powerless being, incapable even of eliciting the slightest displeasure from God, let alone inflicting any harm upon Him.

For example, one passage states:
"From Holy Scripture we see that our God is so great that the entire world and all nations are nothing before Him. If all people and the whole world are nothing before Him, then how much more so is one person. Yet this miserable creature—a mere handful of earth, dust, and ashes—when it sins, provokes such a great God.

Who would dare provoke an earthly king?
A mortal human does not fear provoking God, the king of heaven and earth, whose majesty is unfathomable." (source: link txt)

In another passage, emphasizing God's absolute power and warning against attempts to challenge His authority, a rhetorical question is posed:
"There is nothing stronger than the Church of Christ. Whoever wishes to contend with it will inevitably exhaust their strength: it is like waging war against heaven. When you fight with a man, you may either triumph or be defeated. Can we [dare] provoke the Lord? Are we stronger than Him?" (source: link txt)

Such reflections serve as a reminder that divine authority is immeasurable and invincible, and that any human attempt to challenge it is perceived as an act of extreme delusion and arrogance. Thus, the idea can be understood as a warning: a human being, with limited power, has no right or possibility to compare with the boundless strength of God. This conviction serves as a reminder of the necessity for humility and the acknowledgment of our finiteness in the face of Divine might.
