HOW IMPOSSIBLE!

ROMANS 11: 33

"Oh how great are God's riches and wisdom and knowledge!  HOW IMPOSSIBLE   it is for us to understand His decisions and ways."

Here is a task that is doomed to failure from the beginning.  Try to have the mind of God.  Go ahead, try to understand His decisions and ways.  God's ways are so far above our ways that we could never have a chance of emulating His omnipotence.  That is why so many have questions about God's ways and decisions.  Why would a "good God" allow evil to exist in the world? Why does God allow little babies to die and be taken from their parents?  If there is a God, surely He would not allow me or the one I love to suffer!  The One Truth Today has the correct response.   HOW IMPOSSIBLE  it is for us to understand His decisions and His ways!  Oh how great are God's riches, wisdom and knowledge!   One thing we know for sure,  the mind of God is beyond our comprehension.  

God's wisdom is unfathomable, unsearchable, and inscrutable.  His ways are mysterious and undiscoverable to our finite human mind.  God's mind is infinite in nature and knows no boundaries.  His ways and methods are beyond our ways.  It is impossible for us to understand God's mind.  Are you stubborn and rebellious enough to even think that you can or should try and have a mind like God.  We will never have the nature of God.  Stop and think, what is it that God wants from us?  He wants us to worship Him and believe in Him and ask Him to dwell with us in our hearts.   He wants us to accept Him and not reject Him and His Word and Laws.  God wants us to come to Him with all of our questions and concerns and then have faith that He will take care of us at all times.  He loves all of us and He knows us by name.  

Love the Lord your God, with all your heart, mind, body and soul.  Seek Him first in everything that you do.  Your desire should be for His kingdom and His righteousness.  Pray to God for all of your needs and worship Him without ceasing.  Acknowledge that God is your God and that you are His child.  We can not give anything to God except our belief and faith in Him, and then our worship.  Remember that our earthly journey is temporary and we are just passing through to and eternal destination.  When we arrive in heaven we will have the answer to every question and we will have eternal bliss.  Then you will be able to know the mind of God. In God We Trust!  Understand God, HOW IMPOSSIBLE!
