Timeless Mysteries

Daily Gratitude-Year Eleven: Day 136- Today, I am grateful for timeless mysteries.

As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things. "Ecclesiastes 11:5

These are things we truly do not completely understand. We can know the process, and name steps in the journey, but there are still things unknown.

At what moment does the heartbeat begin? We cannot predict the exact moment. In fact, it gets earlier and earlier as technology becomes more sophisticated in measurement. A miracle every time.

 When will the wind change direction? How many times is the weatherman still wrong, even with so much more technology than we had even 50 years ago. Man can make a plan, but God directs our path and controls the winds. 

Over the weekend, I planted the first of the zinnias I will plant. The seed is so tiny. It looks like an arrowhead but it is so tiny. How does it come to life and grow into a beautiful flower from its hard, dead beginning? Again, it is a miracle every time. 

Our God is full of wonder.

Today, I am grateful for timeless mysteries.
