Insensible
It makes sense that what God does doesn’t usually make sense to us.
He is infinite, and we are finite.
For something to make sense assumes that we can see a significant percentage of the factors involved.
Even if something does make sense to us, it’s likely because we’re missing something, we’re getting it wrong. It’s akin to finding animals and faces in random clouds–our brains are finding patterns where they don’t exist, and missing the true nature of the clouds and what they are doing.
If something doesn’t make sense to us, then, it’s probably a sign that we recognize our limitation, even if only subconsciously.
We must humbly embrace the mystery of the infinite nature of God.
Roundup
What happened to the unreached this week?
Each Friday I send a newsletter to over 2,400 mission activists, advocates, managers, field workers, and pastors - about what happened among the unreached, and what could happen next. Each issue comes with a curated list of nearly 100 links, and note why each is important. You can get on the list for free.
