Things too wonderful for me to know


To follow up on the idea of my inability to comprehend the greatness of God as manifested in His Creation I am drawn to the completion of the book of Job (Job 42:1-6)

1 Then Job replied to the LORD :

2 "I know that you can do all things;
no plan of yours can be thwarted.

3 You asked, 'Who is this that obscures my counsel without knowledge?'
Surely I spoke of things I did not understand,
things too wonderful for me to know.

4 "You said, 'Listen now, and I will speak;
I will question you,
and you shall answer me.'

5 My ears had heard of you
but now my eyes have seen you.

6 Therefore I despise myself
and repent in dust and ashes."

I am GLAD that there is more to the world than my incredibly small understanding - I feel so puny and insignificant and yet then I am able to appreciate the glorious richness of God and His Creation!
