[Discoveries] 02-03-07 We will stand in awe of God

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*"Can anyone teach knowledge to God, since he judges even the highest?" 
--Job 21:22*/

You can take almost any topic and divide everything there is to know 
about that topic into three categories:
1. What God has revealed.
2. What humans have discovered on their own.
3. What God knows and we don't.

Do you grasp how incredibly important this is?

If we deny what God has revealed, we lose our footing, and every 
conclusion we come to is corrupted by skewed and unreliable information. 
We have no way to test our conclusions against rock solid truth.

If we don't allow humans to explore and discover, to seek out and 
acquire information about our universe then we become an uninformed 
bigot, oversimplifying God's enormously complex universe.

If we forget that there is much that we don't know, we lose our awe of 
God, and we become our own little god, trapped in a world that is too 
small for those who are intended to be the children of God.

If we think on this for a while, a whole lot of things that go on in the 
church, in politics, in the media, in science, in education and 
everywhere will begin to make sense in a way they never made sense 
before. But I bring this up so that we can keep a couple of things in 
mind: God is smarter than we are. God isn't required to tell us 
everything there is to know on a topic. The final result of all study, 
all inquiry, and all discovery is this: We will stand in awe of God.

Be encouraged!
Dwight
