Dear Holy Spirit, there are so many things in Your Word I don't understand. Give me grace not to question but to accept that Your ways and Your thoughts are higher than my ways. Grant me too the power to bless others through my own hands, unworthy though I am. In Jesus's name, amen.

As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." God's thoughts are indeed higher than ours, but when he reduces his thoughts into words and reveals them in Scripture, he expects us to study them, meditate on them, and understand them—again, not exhaustively, but accurately.

True faith depends not only on God's power but also on His wisdom.

Our souls yearn for a wonder that reaches beyond the dimensions of our finite minds, and if we don't allow a wonder toward God, we'll search for it elsewhere, in false gods. . . .The older you get, the more it takes to fill your heart with wonder. . .and only God is big enough to do that.

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

Supernatural does not mean methodological stupidity.

Heaven is the creation inconceivable to man; earth is the creation conceivable to him.

The things best to know are first principles and causes, but these things are perhaps the most difficult for men to grasp, for they are farthest removed from the senses.

Education is man's going forward from cocksure ignorance to thoughtful uncertainty.Where there is an open mind there will always be a frontier.

The mind's deepest desire, even in its most elaborate operations, parallels man's unconscious feeling in the face of his universe: it is an insistence upon familiarity, an appetite for clarity.

If God is vast and boundless as the ocean, how can a tiny drop like man imagine what He is?

Things have their laws as well as men, and things refuse to be trifled with.
