Simply Put

Long ago we wanted to be wise. That’s how the serpent got our parents in the Garden. Ever since, we have prided ourselves on what we know.

The Wise God-Man changes this. Fools become truly wise by simple faith in him. Christian truth does demand deep thinking at times, and many parts of Scripture are difficult to understand. But the psalmist reminds us who does the real orb-pondering:

How great are your works, O LORD! Your thoughts are very deep!

Psalm 92:5

At the end of the day, being a Christian means that God’s got us. His thoughts are very deep so ours don’t have to be. We don’t need to figure everything out anymore because the divine mind is brimming with plots and schemes for our good. What a relief! We’re free to serve him in simple faith and obedience right where we are.
