“If you can’t explain it to a six year old, you don’t understand it yourself.”― Albert Einstein

Isaiah 55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Do you understand now?

Do you ever feel like a little child that is explaining things beyond their capacity to understand? It might sound like this; “I know that I know that I know.” Thanks, that explains everything.

Matthew 13:35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.

Can you keep a secret? No? I didn’t think so.

What secrets are meant to be shared and which ones are meant to be kept?

How about this then. You can explain some things more clearly to a six year old than you can a tenured professor. Six year olds have a better imagination than professors.

Six year olds want to believe, those with a hardened heart and a cement mind will not change. I am not saying God cannot get to that professor, just that I am not likely to be able to reason with him.

What can we do?

Galatians 2:20-21a I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. I do not frustrate the grace of God:

Stop trying to explain this life of faith and just live it.
