Psalm 78:2 I will open my mouth in a parable; I will declare the mysteries of ancient times.
A child went to school.
In science, she studied the scientific method. She was intrigued. In math, formulas developed her desire for balance. History classes taught her to think critically about information sources and consider motivations. Ideas about perspective emerged from books she read, fueling her belief that we are more alike than different.
As she grew, she learned how little she knew. She experienced the weight of facts and wondered at carrying so many. She began to question those who claimed to have all the answers.
When things didn’t make sense, she turned to God. “Guide me,” she prayed. And she saw signs. Over and over again she made decisions difficult to prove by the scientific method. She began to think about concepts of God critically. She began to erase the formulas she had drawn around God and God grew big enough to swallow up her facts, and that truth set her free.
MOVING FORWARD: When has God swallowed up some of your facts with truth?
