KNOWING AND NOT KNOWING

Solomon wrote,
“Just as you do not know the path of the wind,
or how the bones form in the womb of a pregnant woman, so you do not know the work of God who makes everything.” (Ecclesiastes 11:5)

But then again, who could know the work of God?
I’m trying to figure out what I had all figured out about ‘the bones in the womb of a pregnant woman’ and then I read Job 39 as the Lord speaks to Job about knowing or not knowing the work of God:

“Are you acquainted with the way the mountain goats give birth? Do you watch as the wild deer give birth to their young? Do you count the months they must fulfill, and do you know the time they give birth? They crouch, they bear their young, they bring forth the offspring they have carried. Their young grow strong, and grow up in the open; they go off, and do not return to them.” (39:1-4)

I believe the Lord wants us to know his works and the created wonder of all things, but I also believe that even more the Lord wants us to know him as our Creator/Father. By faith, this stretches us into loving both… all that has been made, is being made and the Lord who makes it.

“For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without measure to Him. The Father loves the Son, and has placed all things into His hand. He who believes in the Son has eternal life. He who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.” Jesus
