Hide and Seek

I have come to realize how much I enjoy discovering new information about the nature of God. Some people are frustrated by how mysterious God can be, or how unclear Scripture is at times, but if you look at how humans are created it makes perfect sense. We are intrigued by mystery and elated by intellectual stimulus. Think about how we were when we were 5 years old or so. What child doesn't love to play hide and seek? Do you ever wonder why we loved that game so much? It's because we are instilled with a deep passion to discover what is hidden from us. I believe God intentionally hides things from us in order to keep us searching for Him. If we could ever fully understand everything about God and the Bible they wouldn't be as interesting as they are. People have studied God since the beginning of time and we are still so interested in His being.

This is also why I believe science and Christianity are not enemies, but allies. God gave us science to discover the extraordinary breadth of His creation. All of the scientific breakthroughs we could ever hope to make will still never tell us about all the incredible potential for humanity that God has woven into Creation. As far as Scripture goes, we have one all-powerful text that can provide us with a life time of insight and enlightenment if we continually seek out the wide expanse of knowledge contained within it. Hopefully we can stop stressing out about the many translations of Scripture, or the multiple theories about evolution and just enjoy the game that God has set before us. I'm pretty sure we aren't supposed to figure everything out anyway!
