What do you know?

We can live based on what we know. So many people make the mistake of conducting their lives based upon the mysteries that exists. We do not understand all the ins and outs of death. We cannot always reconcile the effects of God's power and man's freedom to make choices. We do not understand when bad things happen to good people. We do not know how much room the devil has to act, or why the Lord gives him any room at all. We have a hard time with starvation, joblessness, homelessness, disasters and all kinds of suffering. We can choose to live based on the darkness that covers these mysteries, or we can go from day to day based on what we know. God is love. The Word of God is light. The Holy Spirit is our helper. Leaning on the Lord brings healing and hope. Some mysteries will be cleared up with time, so why should we torture ourselves trying to figure them out beforehand? Other things that happen will never be understood by us. We don't like that, but it's just the way it is. "...Walk in the light as HE is in the light..." Our experience of life is just better that way.
