Our Limited Knowledge

 Solomon was the wisest man who ever lived, because God gave him the gift of His wisdom and understanding. He applied his mind to know all that he could learn and to discern the things of God. Others, like the Queen of Sheba, were amazed at his knowledge. However, there was a limit to what Solomon could know. He saw that, and he told us this truth. (Ecclesiastes 11:5) Just as we don't know the path of the wind or how bones develop in the womb of a pregnant lady, so we do not know the work of God who makes everything. Now, why do you think this is so? Let's think about it for a few minutes.

We are humans. Even when we get saved, and we are changed by the Lord, we are limited by our human nature. This is true in heaven, too. We will have more knowledge of ourselves and others once we get there and have our eternal bodies. (I Corinthians 13:12)  Still, we will never know all the work of God, because He is so much above us. Just think about it. God knows the path of the wind all over the earth at any given moment. He knows where it starts and where it ends, even though we can't see it at all. God knows exactly how bones form in the womb of a pregnant woman. He made the human body and the process of having babies. He did it in His wisdom and knowledge, which we will never have. All of this should cause us to believe in God more than ever. It should show us that we will never understand everything, but we can trust Him completely because He is so great and wise. I pray we will all spend time focusing on the greatness of God today, and I pray it will help us increase our faith in Him.
