embracing His mystery...

Through the act of praising Him as Mystery... the One beyond our understanding... the One known only through the grace of revelation... the importance of embracing His mystery becomes clear...

To embrace the unknowns of God... is to embrace Him in faith...

To doubt... hesitate... disobey... because He hasn't given full disclosure... is to walk in unbelief...

Trusting Him... is huge... when it comes to loving Him...

Like children... we are to trust out heavenly Father... without fully understanding what He's calling us to do... or why...

At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying,

"Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"

And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said,

"Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children,

you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. ..."

Matthew 18:1-3 ESV

So often... parents must tell their children to do something... or submit to something... for their own good... yet there is no possible way for the child to understand in the moment... developmentally they just can't do it... for example... vaccinations... 

Three-year-olds are far from comprehending the threat of viruses... or the blessing of vaccines to boost immune systems for their protection from disease...

As Believers... we too must embrace our limited understanding... and God's wisdom and timing... in providing revelation...

There are some things we will just not be able to understand... comprehend... or see the reason to... while we are in the flesh...

Embracing His mystery... 

is an act of childlike faith... and wonder...

an exercise of trust... and love...

Take a step of faith...

let go of your need for understanding...

trust your heavenly Father...

just like a child...
