Connecting with the Creator of the universe
requires the most powerful force in the universe that is beyond human
comprehension, reason, logic, or proof. The truth of God comes only His way—by
faith. It is only by your spirit that you can transcend the limitations of your
mind.
August’s
Awakening, Day 11
God destines us for an end beyond the
grasp of reason.
—Thomas Aquinas
Human reason cannot begin to answer
the great questions as to what God is in himself, and what he is in relation to
us.
—John Calvin
The ultimate purpose of reason is to
bring us to the place where we can see that there is a limit to reason.
—Blaise Pascal
“For
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. Isaiah 55:8–9 NIV
“How
long will you who are simple love your simple ways? How long will mockers
delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge? Repent at my rebuke! Then I will
pour out my thoughts to you, I will make known to you my teachings. But since
you refuse to listen when I call and no one pays attention when I stretch out
my hand, since you disregard all my advice and do not accept my rebuke, I in
turn will laugh when disaster strikes you; I will mock when calamity overtakes
you—when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when disaster sweeps over you
like a whirlwind, when distress and trouble overwhelm you. “Then they will call
to me but I will not answer; they will look for me but will not find me, since
they hated knowledge and did not choose to fear the Lord. Since they would not
accept my advice and spurned my rebuke, they will eat the fruit of their ways
and be filled with the fruit of their schemes. For the waywardness of the
simple will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them; but
whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of
harm.” Proverbs 1:22–33 NIV
God
is beyond reason. God is beyond proof. God is beyond the limitations of the
human intellect. The truth of God requires a spiritual connection with God
through the most powerful force in this universe—faith. Reason, logic, proof,
and intellect can only take you to the limits of the known knowledge base.
Faith propels you via light speed directly to the source of all knowledge—God
Himself. Faith is like the elusive worm hole in the space-time continuum that
gets you to the places impossible to reach in any other way.
God’s
thoughts, higher than our thoughts, God’s ways, higher than our ways. We come
to God on His terms, not ours, not logic, not reason, not proof, not intellect,
but truth through faith. God’s way. It requires your spirit to connect with
His, and that only comes about through faith. There is nothing more powerful in
this entire universe than that connection through faith with God.
