"Although I depend on technology every day to get my job done, I don't understand much about how it works. I turn my computer on, bring up a Word document, and get to work on my writing. Yet my inability to comprehend how microchips, hard drives, Wi-Fi connections, and full-color displays actually function doesn't get in the way of my benefiting from technology.
In a sense, this mirrors our relationship with God. Isaiah 55:8-9 reminds us that God is far beyond us: 'My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,' declares the Lord. 'As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.'
Even though we don't understand everything about God, that doesn't prevent us from trusting Him. He has proven His love for us. The apostle Paul wrote, 'God demonstrates his own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Rom 5:8). Trusting that love, we can walk with Him even when life doesn't make sense." -- Bill Crowder
Many of us know this to be true, any yet the reminders are so good. God is good, He loves us, and we can pray to Him. Like a computer or a car (for most of us) we don't always know how prayer works, but we know that it does because we have experienced the power of prayer. If we haven't, then we know people who have and their experiences can bolster our own faith until we have!
To God be the glory!
