Me:  You  look like you are thinking.<\/p>\n

Prodigal:  I am.  God seems like He makes no sense sometimes.<\/p>\n

Me:  God is God and we can’t always understand everything going on around us.<\/p>\n

This is from the book Prophetic Voices in Contemporary Theology by Alvin Porteous<\/p>\n

It implies that there is in man no natural capacity by virtue of which he can grasp God and make him an object of knowledge.  To grant such a capacity would be to put revelation in the control of man and infringe upon the sovereign freedom of God to reveal himself as and where he will.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Be weary of that Christian who has figured out all the ways that God works and tells you everything that God thinks.  Even if we have words of wisdom or the Holy Spirit shares God’s truth.  God never lets anyone replace Him with all knowledge and future knowledge.  There is only one that knows all and that is God.<\/p>\n

Psalm 33:1<\/p>\n

Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous; for praise is comely for the upright.<\/p>\n
