The Works of God

“As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things.”- Ecclesiastes 11:5

          God, who is the Maker of all things, is so far above us in intellect and power that it’s impossible to comprehend all that He is let alone all He can do. Solomon, in all his wisdom, describes two things in this world that we cannot see or understand: the path of the wind and a fetus formed in a mother’s womb. They are both cause for wonder, yet we don’t understand the magnitude of what is taking place. If we would only spend time marveling at His creation and give Him praise for who He is, but instead we fritter away our days with things that seem important to us at the time, yet in the eternal scheme of things are, in fact, very trivial. 

          God does as He chooses because He knows us intimately; much better than we know ourselves. He knows what we need and readily provides it. He looks after us as a shepherd looks after his flock. He protects us and seeks to guide us into spiritual prosperity, yet all we can seem to think about is prosperity of a monetary ilk. We seek to grab the leader’s staff and take control when any control at all is impossible without Almighty God giving it to us. Someday we will understand as we are understood; until that day, let us take the time to truly marvel at His majesty and be awe struck by His power and might. He loves us unconditionally, and that, in spite of ourselves. Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing.
