A Bit of Advice

“As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother's womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things." Ecclesiastes 11:5

I heard this nice bit of advice the other day, and while it was so simple, it's something I don't think I've ever heard said. This verse in Ecclesiastes fits right in with it. As we see this verse it says plain and clear that we cannot understand the work of God. And the advice given the other day was to not even try. Think about it. We are naturally curious people, we want to know how things work and why they work. So when we see something new or something we've never seen before,we want to know how it happens. And sometimes we get so caught up in figuring out the hows and whys that we miss the wonder of the new. So rather than spend our time trying to understand something that we cannot anyways, we should try and set aside that curiousness. Simply enjoy the sense of wonder, and enjoy the creation and work of our God. We can't analyze God, so let's not even try.
