Gospel Reflections #195: We are Limited in our Knowledge and Understanding

Job 26:7"God laid the holy mountain in a vast expanse, and hung the earth above the void."

These are the words which Job made for the third time against the claims of his friends.

Job insists that the universe is maintained by God's power, and Job himself does not defy it.

However, Job's friends see Job's reality and deny his claims.

We don't know everything, or even a part of what God does. Even though we don't understand that, we try to interpret it in a way that is easy for us to accept. We don't even want to leave that interpretation to God, but we want to reach a conclusion.

We tend to judge by what we see, feel, and hear, but there is no God there.

The more we know that God created heaven and earth, created us, sacrificed for us, and still leads us, the more we have to acknowledge the limits of our thoughts and understanding.

I think that's what makes us humble.

Let us continue to discover the size of God that makes us humble. God is love. Enjoy the blessings of discovering that love every day.
