Seeking to Understand Mysteries

I have an analytical personality. It's a good quality when it inspires me to do research and find answers. But it frustrates me when something is beyond my grasp.

I’m content not fully understanding things like electricity, cell phones, and computers. But I want to know everything about God, and sometimes that's not possible.

This used to trouble me until I discovered the wonderful truth in 1 Corinthians 13:12:

 

“For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.”

 

Our lives on earth involve some mystery, but one day those mysteries will make sense. And even more importantly, everything God does is good. His wisdom is perfect. His Word is trustworthy.

Electricity, cell phones, or computers sometimes let me down, but God never does.

“Now faith is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality—faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses].” Hebrews 11:1 AMP

If you're struggling to believe God for a situation in your life, take time today to ask God to give you that confident assurance in things you can’t yet see or understand.
