For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

&nbsp;We cannot understand all the things of God. We cannot comprehend the creation. I am learning a big part of believing this is going: "I don't know."

Because we do not. Job chapter 38 makes it clear that we do not know how God does things. So what do we say to that?

Job 42:1 Then Job answered the LORD and said,
Job 42:2 "I know that You can do all things, And that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted.
Job 42:3 'Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?' "Therefore I have declared that which I did not understand, Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know."

Amen Job,

I specualte, but I realize that is all it is, speculation. Part of how I worship God is to wonder and try to imagine just how and why He did and does all that is. At this point my feeling is I know that I know I serve a just and loving God, and I trust that whatever He chooses to do is full of both love and justice beyond my comprehension. God Bless. Bill

Of course a finite mind cannot comprehend an infinite mind. But our mind can understand what God has written to us in His Word through the guidance and revelation of the Holy Spirit of God. Jesus said He (The Holy Spirit) would guide us in ALL Truth.

John 16:13: "Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come."

As Christians we have no need for any knowledge beyond this!
