Let God Wow Us

We by nature do not like open-ended situations. We desperately want resolution, congruence, in our thinking, but every day presents us unanswerable questions. This is what our existence consists of: inexplicable realities beyond our ability to figure out totally.

Much of life is unfathomable. Should this be a problem to us? Do we want it any other way? Would we prefer a God whose ways are plain and simple, who is boring, easy to figure out, and not transcendent? Doesn't the fact some circumstances are beyond us cause us to be in awe of our God even more? Don't we want God to be in the wow?

Living in this irreconcilable dynamic tension is what it means to live by faith. If all things were obvious and easy, we would be living by sight.
