Gospel Reflections #193: When we cannot understand all of God's work

1 Corinthians 13:12 "For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully, just as I also have been fully known."

We cannot understand all of God's work. But we tend to feel that we cannot trust God unless we understand all of His work.

We try to understand only what God does, without trying to understand who He is, so we sometimes have a hard time coming to the point of believing.

We want things to be black and white, which means we want to make our own decisions. God tells us to leave that decision to Him.

God does not just give commands, but the Bible proves what God has done for mankind up to now. Whether we believe it or not depends on how we understand God in the Bible.

All will become clear when the time comes. Until then, our daily discovery of who our God is will make us certain of even the dim reflections in the mirror, and therein will be born praise and joy.
