Psalm 139:16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

Pretend I am that six year old from yesterday. Explain this to me so that I will understand.

Be prepared to answer every little why for any answer you might offer. Kids will so often confound our understandings with why questions. Why? Why? Why?

Here let me help you. The answer is “Because I said so.”

If you have children you have been thru this yourself. Every parent does because all kids are alike in this. They want to understand. We are God’s children and we want to understand. Some of us are so smart that we have it all figured out without asking God. The error in that is that understanding without relationship is godless intellect.

Every word in God’s Word is meant to communicate with His children. Some of it is so simple a six year old can understand it. Some of it is so deep that a proper understanding cannot be made apart from God’s divine revelation. Our continuing education is not just giving meaning to scriptures. It is also giving meaning to life.

This life in Christ has meaning and discovering who we are in Christ is part of this relationship we have with God the Father. That discovery can only be accomplished by growth. The array of complexity in His Word is designed to gauge your growth.

Jonah 4:11b …persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand;…

God graciously saved us to instruct us in the way everlasting, so that we would no longer be those that do not know their left from their right.
