Embrace the Mystery

"So don’t think too highly of yourselves; instead, stand in awe of God’s mercy ... We cannot wrap our minds around God’s wisdom and knowledge! Its depths can never be measured! We cannot understand His judgments or explain the mysterious ways that He works!" (Romans 11:20,33, The Voice)

When was the last time you were in awe of God's mercy? When was the last time you contemplated His ways and came to the inescapable conclusion that you can't figure Him out?

We are largely uncomfortable with mystery in our lives. In fact, I think we sometimes avoid what we can't understand, so we put God in a box and develop our formulas for explaining how He works.

But God can't be contained. These verses call us to stand in awe of, to be humbled by, and to embrace the mystery.

How can you embrace that mystery today?
