You know, it would seem that the “formulas” we use to categorize God and His ways , while they appear to offer a sense of simplicity and security to our attempts at better understanding His complexity, tends to only distort our comprehension of Him, as He is rarely (if not ever) as we supposed. In essence, throughout our endeavors to explain and better grasp that which is incomprehensible, we only invite more confusion and uncertainty into our already disheveled lives!

Like you, David had a way of taking matters like this and making them altogether practical:

“Lord, my heart is not haughty, nor my eyes lofty. Neither do I concern myself with great matters, nor with things too profound for me. Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with his mother; like a weaned child is my soul within me.” Psalm 131:1-2 (NKJV)

You know, a preacher once told me that there is a lot is to be said about the benefits of being able to just stretch out and rest on the name of Jesus!

As always, the words you share with are like water to my soul.

Daniel J
