The secret things

belong to the LORD our God,

but the things

      that are revealed

      belong to us

  and to our children forever,

that we may do

all the words of the law.

       Deuteronomy 29. 29

(Understanding does not

arrive suddenly on my doorstep,

but in pursuing the Almighty,

in tiny steps

     and built in layers

     by His hand.

I will never comprehend

   the vastness of God Himself,

nor even the

    profound depths of His Word,

but I can be faithful

      in what He reveals to me,

      in what I do grasp.)

O LORD,

we pray for Your revealing

that we would know You more.

We pray a deeper trust in You,

    even in the mysteries of life,

for Your glory in all things,

  beyond our wildest imagination.

You are God,

and thankfully we are not.
