God Is God And We Are Not

 

...and did not understand it.

           Daniel 8. 27

Daniel was a significant prophet

   in the Old Testament,

who interpreted dreams for kings

       even at the risk of his life.

But sometimes, even Daniel

       was at a loss for what

      was before him.

Those who are wise,

   know that they don't know it all.

Some things in Scripture

           --or our own lives --

we will never understand.

    But some things we can.

The biggest truth 

and greater good always exceed

         our comprehension.

That is why God is God

    and we are not.

But when we seek God,

He always reveals Himself to us

   in one way or a million.

And God's Word gets us there,

forming an unbreakable connection

   between reality and Scripture.

We may still not fully understand,

but slowly God unfolds

  what we never saw before.

O LORD,

This situation, this relationship,

  this deep dark crevasse,

is way beyond our understanding.

Strengthen us to go forth

   with what we do know:

that You love and care for us.

And that we can walk with You

    through everything before us.

               Even this.

Guide our steps.

Order our thoughts.

Help us to trust You

   in what we cannot yet know.
