Romans 1:19-21 (NKJV) 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.
Trying to figure God out and comprehend Him fully is futile.
God is so far above and beyond our minds, it’s impossible for us to ever put all of the pieces together and figure Him out completely.
Yes, we have His word. And by His word we learn of Him and we get a certain level of understanding. But to walk with God requires faith.
Faith can take us beyond those things that we can’t understand with our minds. Faith can show us things that our minds could never perceive. And faith can go where intellect can’t go.
Does that mean intellectual people can never have faith in God? No. But it does mean that intellectual people will need to accept the fact that there will be some things that they can never explain or fully understand, and move in faith toward God.
You see, it takes faith to walk with God and faith to please God.
Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV) 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
So if you, or someone you know is having trouble understanding God, or some of the things happening in life, it’s time to stop trying to figure it all out.
Let’s put our trust in the God who is evidenced all around us, in what we see, touch, hear, smell and experience every minute of our lives.
Creation demands a Creator!
