As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things.
Ecclesiastes 11:5 NIV
No one knows or understands how the wind works. We cannot determine its source, or predict its direction and destination. All we see is the wonderful impact it makes, and the effect it has on our physical bodies and environment. The wind is just one of the numerous acts of God that is beyond human understanding.
Man has found a way to be relevant in the scheme of things. Science, technology and various inventions have been used by man to explain the mysteries of creation, but in the final analysis, one thing is certain: there is nothing man can do to change whatever God has done. I cannot recreate what God has already established; neither can I stop anything from working as it should, unless God allows me to. He has founded the earth as he pleases, he has placed everything in its place and commanded it to function as it should. Man was placed in the garden to nurture creation, and it is only as man obeys and does as instructed, that he can truly enjoy God's full favour.
I must respect my limitations. I take a look at the complex structure called earth, and then recall that earth is just 1 out of 9 recognised planets, with others still being discovered. I look up to the sky and see the starry host, and I can only imagine that someone somewhere else is looking up and seeing a different configuration. I recall planting seeds in the ground, and a few months down the line, there is a harvest of grain, much more than I put in the same ground.
I then wonder how anyone could claim that there is no God. If science cannot fully explain this complexities, how do we imagine that it can provide answers to all of life's questions? I must therefore make up my mind to trust God's wisdom, his foresight and his work all around me. Even if I do not understand, my heart acknowledges the power of the One who makes all things work together for my good. His time of favour is here.
