Growing through mystery

The Lord answered Job, "Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundations? Tell me if you know..." And he said to the sea, “You may come this far, no farther; here your proud waves stop” ~ Job 38: 4, 11 (CEB)

By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God’s command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen. ~ Hebrews 11:3 (NLT)

KEY IDEA:
We can clearly see that God's ways are a mystery through which we grow.
PRAYER:
Thank you, Creator God, for gifts beyond sight or measure. Not only have you given Christ's love, hope, and forgiveness, but you have set the time and place for a life prepared for me. Sustain me in that life! As you set a boundary for the earth and sea, use my life's limitations to sharpen my purpose for you. Amen. (Daily Texts, Mount Carmel Ministries edition)
