“He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also put eternity in their hearts, but no one can discover the work God has done from beginning to end.”
‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭3‬:‭11‬ ‭CSB‬‬

God made me to be curious. He made me to wonder where I came from, why I was born, and what will happen to me next year and a decade from now. He created me with questions.

And He usually doesn’t simply answer these questions.

God also gave us brains and skills and ideas. Life is a great mystery, but sometimes we discover answers. We created science and the scientific method to try to figure God’s creation out. There is beautiful satisfaction in revelation. God knew this and gave us the gift of figuring things out on our own.

But no matter how deep we dig, how far we look, how much we learn, we will never understand everything about God or His creation. That is also a wonderful gift.

Have you ever been reading a really good book and didn’t want it to end? Or maybe you have been working on a jigsaw puzzle and, although there was satisfaction, you were also sad when you finished it.

With God’s creation, we don’t have to worry about running out of story or puzzle. There will always be more to learn, discover, and understand. What joy!

Dear God,

Thank you for the beautiful puzzle of life you have given your children to solve. The more we learn, the more we realize we don’t know. You are infinite and oh so incredibly mysterious. I’m so glad for this mystery but also grateful for all you have shared with me about yourself.
