When my kids were little and we would ride in the car, they would regularly say, "Hey mom look at this." I would reply, "I can't I am driving."
My oldest daughter told me that always hurt her feelings, she thought I was disinterested in what she was trying to tell me. She had no idea how quickly things can happen at highway speeds (and slower ones as well), how dangerous it can be, and how my first priority was everyone's safety. How could I explain to a 3 year old all the things I had to consider in that situation? How could she possibly understand?
When this same child began to drive she told me that now she understood what I meant. In the months to come she will be a parent too - I told her in a few years there will be many things about me she will understand better.
I think there are many of Adonai's things that are the same way....
Adonai knows we need concrete examples to demonstate abstract ones. How can you teach a child an abstract concept like math without examples?

My bottom line with all things of Adonai - HE is right and I am wrong. So I just keep goin at it til I can get His point of view. I think I will be busy for a very loooong time
