As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are My ways higher than your ways,
and My thoughts than your thoughts.
Isaiah 55:9
Despite all of our searching and all of our study of the
Scriptures, we'll never be able to see everything clearly, to fully grasp and
understand and answer all the questions. They are beyond our comprehension---a
puzzle, a mystery.
In Keep a Quiet Heart, Elisabeth Elliott says, "Today
is mine. Tomorrow is none of my business. If I peer anxiously into the fog of
the future, I will strain my spiritual eyes so that I will not see clearly what
is required of me now."
Much of what happens in life we simply have to take by
faith. Answers will not be forthcoming.
These are the tensions of reality, and if we get marooned on
the tensions, we will not be able to travel further. That is as our heavenly
Father planned it.
