Understanding

The circumference of our faith must always be greater than that of our understanding and I think it will be for all eternity.

Pr 20:24 NIV
A man’s steps are directed by the LORD. How then can anyone understand his own way?

We will never know enough that we will lose the joy of exploring and learning.
We will never know enough that we will gain control.

Ecc 6:10 NLT
Everything has already been decided. It was known long ago what each person would be. So there’s no use arguing with God about your destiny.

Ac 17:26 NIV
From one man he made every nation of men that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live.

God is Sovereign wise and good and this is our faith…
Ro 8:28 NIV
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

Do you really think that even in heaven our understanding will be so limited? To paraphrase(don't know the reference offhand)"we will know as we are known"
We always delude ourselves that we have "gained control"-to live in that state of uncertainty but faith is the toughest!
