Just as you cannot understand the path of the wind or the mystery of a tiny baby growing in its mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the activity of God, who does all things. Ecclesiastes 11:5 NLT
There are several things that are beyond our comprehension. There are mysteries all around us that we cannot fully understand. When you take stock of your life, and all that you have experienced, you will realise that you could not really explain how so many things turned out. There are natural laws, one of which is that your input would always determine your output, and what you sow, you will reap. That is the natural law of God and nature and it has been proven true in many respects.
But then in steps God, and you just realise that some natural laws would not stand when God is at work. How do you scientifically explain how 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish will feed 5,000 men, beside the women and children, and you still have 12 baskets of leftovers? How do you logically explain how a cup of water changes to the best wine between its source (the jar) and the master of ceremonies? Today's extract also explains another mystery- the path of the wind and how a baby grows in its mother's womb.
It is a foolhardy exercise to attempt to logically and rationally process God. It is not a profitable exercise to ever imagine that you can tick the boxes by predicting how he will handle a situation. If God can create over 7 billion people and counting with unique fingerprints, then he has over 7 billion ways he can solve a particular problem. His ways are beyond searching out, and his understanding, no one can fathom. "Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding. Isaiah 40:28 NLT.
That is the God I have and serve. Do you know this God, and does he know you as his own? His time of favour is here.
