Wednesday Thought -- February 4, 2015

Good Morning Friends,

“I am the most ignorant of men; I do not have a man’s understanding. I have not learned wisdom, nor have I knowledge of the Holy One. Who has gone up to heaven and come down? Who has gathered up the wind in the hollow of his hands? Who has wrapped up the waters in his cloak? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and the name of his son? Tell me if you know! Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. Do not add to his words, or he will rebuke you and prove you a liar.” (Proverbs 30:2-6)

Through the generations of man’s history we have gained a great deal of knowledge. We know a great deal about space because we’ve seen far away with our powerful telescopes, explored planets with our rockets, and even put men upon the moon. We know a great deal about the small things of the universe, too. We’ve built powerful microscopes to look at some of the tiniest pieces of what makes up our world. We’ve unraveled much of the DNA that makes us who we are.

We know so much -- but there is still so much we do not understand!

Though we know so much about the human body, there are many things that are still a mystery even to the finest physicians. We know so much about the tiny pieces of the universe, but every time we build a more powerful microscope we find even tinier things that we had never seen or known of before. We know so much about space and have seen places unimaginably far away. But every time we build a more powerful telescope or send a satellite further away than we’ve ever sent one before we find there is more to the universe than we knew was there. We have yet to find its end!

Then there are areas of life that we can do such little research into. Scientists have tried to explore the human soul and understand the human need for a connection with God. Yet, spiritual things are still such a mystery to even the most learned of humans.

Thank God He has revealed much about Himself to us. Without God’s intervention to show Himself to us, we’d never be able to find God or know God. God loves us so much that He has shown Himself to us and revealed all that we need to know about Him now.

What a marvelous gift that is!

His, by Grace,

Steve
