inexplicable design flaws...
how to get rid of chimney swifts trying to nest on the front porch...
what to do about dogs coming to visit of their own accord...
why people do what they do...
So moved by mysteries... it became the subject of today's post...
Looking up the definition... I found...
mystery... noun... 1 a: a religious truth that one can know only by revelation and cannot fully understand... 2 a: something not understood or beyond understanding: enigma... 3: profound, inexplicable, or secretive quality or character
---Merriam-Websters Collegiate Dictionary (11th Ed.)I had no idea the primary definition of mystery had to do with God... (since all truth is His... any religious truth is solely about the one true God... Father... Son... Spirit...)
This definition reminds me... I deal with mysteries every day when it comes to knowing Him...
And I've learned the only way to understand is via revelation... His unveiling... revealing... of truth...
He who holds all things together... is a mystery in and of Himself...
No wonder the world... the universe... abounds with mysteries...
Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of godliness:
He was manifested in the flesh,
vindicated by the Spirit,
seen by angels,
proclaimed among the nations,
believed on in the world,
taken up in glory.
1 Timothy 3:16 ESV
