You Can’t Understand Everything
“To Him all the prophets witness that, through His name, whoever believes in Him will receive remission of sins.”

Ponder This
True faith goes beyond evidence and becomes its own best evidence. If you try to figure God out, you will die and go to Hell without having God figured out. Nothing will hold anything beyond its own capacity. In other words, you can’t put two gallons of liquid in a one-gallon jug. Do you think that you can cram God into your mind? Your mind doesn’t have the capacity to contain God. For God to be worth of worship, He must be greater than our mentality. If we could understand God fully and know everything about Him, we wouldn’t need God. The good news is we don’t have to understand Him to know Him.
When I was a little boy, my dad used to go off to work. I didn’t know where he went or what he did, but I knew he was my dad, and I knew him personally, and I loved him. You don’t have to understand how God runs the mighty Universe to put your faith and trust in Him. Someone once asked Mrs. Albert Einstein, “Do you understand the theory of relativity?” She said, “No, but I understand Dr. Einstein.” Even though it is impossible to understand Him fully, by faith you can know the Lord Jesus Christ.
- What are some ways you have sought to understand God fully?
- How has this brought you frustration or disappointment?

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
