The Mysteries of God
“Your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.” — 1 Corinthians 2:5
The word “mystery” is used many times in Scripture. Some of the mysteries of the past have been explained by science, while others still bewilder mankind. The fact remains, all of the garnered wisdom of the ages only scratch the surface of man’s search for the knowledge of the universe. For the most part, God retains His secrets, and man — standing on his intellectual tiptoes — can only comprehend a small fraction of the Lord’s work. This inability to fully comprehend the mysteries of God doesn’t in any way curtail the Christian faith. On the contrary, it enhances it. We don’t understand the intricate pattern of the stars in their courses, but we know that He who created them does. Nevertheless, just as surely as God guides the stars, He is also charting a safe course for us.
