Acts 19

There are some things about God that I just can't figure out. And until I stop to think about it, it frustrates me, because I love to explain things. I like things to fit together nicely and have some easy explanation for everything about God... but it just doesn't work that way. He's too big. I can't get my mind around Him. I can't explain Him. I heard Chris Tomlin sing about "the Godhead, three in one" today and that's kind of what got me thinking of this... I once tried to explain the Trinity, but stunk it up real bad. Why? Cuz it doesn't all fit within my logical world. But the song goes on to say "How great is our God." He's too great to be explained. Verse 6 of this chapter says that those that believed received the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues. I read that and thought, "you know, God could have just left the whole tongues things out and it would have been much easier to understand and explain." But it's there. How do you explain that?

Then I come to the conclusion that it's better this way. What good is a God that only fits within what I understand? What is there to look forward to? Where's the expectation and hope if He's only what I can conceive of? Lord, help me to stop trying to explain everything (and automatically doubt things I don't understand), and help me to enjoy the mysteries that are in You...
