Isaiah 46:8-11 ---- I am God, and there is none like Me. ---Isaiah 46:9 -- ---- TO love someone intensely doesn'nt mean you have to understand him or her completely. That's good news, because there's no way we can begin to grasp the deep mysteries of the God we love.
With our finite minds and our self-centered views, we can't deduce why God does what He does. Yet some people look at tragedies, for instance, and turn their backs on God--assuming that their finite knowledge about the situation is better than His infinite wisdom.
Indeed, if we could figue God out--if He were no more than a glorified human with no greater knowledge than that of the smartest person--where would be the awe and the majesty of the Almighty? One reason we know God to be so great is that we cannot reduce His thinking to ours.
The appostle Paul asked, "Who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?" (1 Cor 2:16). Clearly, the answer is 'no one'.
But even when we don't understand Him, we know we can trust Him. -- ----- To fully understand God is impossible; to worship Him is imperative. --- ODB/DB
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
