Marveling at the Endless Mysteries of Existence

Chapter 1: The Gift of Curiosity
In Ecclesiastes 3:11 (CSB), it states, "He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also put eternity in their hearts, but no one can discover the work God has done from beginning to end." This verse speaks to the innate curiosity instilled in us by God. Each of us is born with questions about our origins, our purpose, and our future. Yet, often, the divine answers remain elusive.
God has blessed us with intellect, creativity, and the drive to seek answers. Life is filled with enigmas, and at times, we stumble upon revelations. Our pursuit of knowledge led to the establishment of science, a structured approach to unraveling the mysteries of creation. This journey of discovery brings immense satisfaction, a gift from God that allows us to explore the wonders of existence.
Despite our relentless inquiries and the depths we explore, the full understanding of God and His creation will always remain beyond our grasp. This limitation is, in itself, a remarkable blessing.
Have you ever immersed yourself in a captivating book, wishing it would never conclude? Or perhaps you've worked diligently on a jigsaw puzzle, feeling a mix of accomplishment and sadness as you placed the final piece?
With God's creation, the narrative and the puzzle never truly end. There will always be more insights to gain, mysteries to unravel, and truths to discover. What a source of joy this brings!
Dear God,
I am grateful for the intricate puzzle of life you have entrusted to your children. The more I learn, the clearer it becomes that there is so much more to uncover. You are vast and profoundly mysterious, and I cherish this enigma while also appreciating the insights you’ve graciously revealed about yourself.
