Embrace the Mystery

"I saw all the works and ways of God, and it became clear to me that no one is able to grasp fully this mystery called life. Try as we might, we cannot discover what has been done under the sun. Even if the wise claim to know, they really haven’t discovered it." (Ecclesiastes 8:17, The Voice)

Just when you think you have it all figured out ... You are wrong. 

There are certainly things about God and His word that are understandable. He has given us enough revelation of Himself that we can make reasonable decisions about following Him. Through the indwelling presence of His Holy Spirit in those who follow Him, He gives spiritual understanding.

But there are mysteries of God that are beyond our comprehension. We can struggle with them, or we can trust and worship Him in the mystery.

Michael Card wrote a song back in 1988 called "To the Mystery". The chorus says, "Oh, that is the mystery; more than you can see. Give up on your pondering and fall down on your knees."

Question: What can you do today to embrace the mystery of God?
