WHAT CAN WE KNOW OF GOD?We can know what the Lord chooses to reveal. Our Lord has revealed himself through the Bible, through joining us on earth and living among us and through the Holy Spirit.
What can we understand? Very little probably, Ecclesiastes says,"...man cannot discover the work which has been done under the sun. Even though man should seek laboriously, he will not discover, and though the wise man should say, "I know," he cannot discover."
We see the tip of the iceberg, but even that is only physical reality and God is a spiritual being. 1 Co 2:14 says, "But natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised."
Lord, give us the wisdom to understand we must learn about you spiritually and lead us to study your word and your life among us and to pray unceasingly so that we might know you. Amen

Amen to that! :) ... the more we learn, the less we know ... life here is just a pursuit ... to live as good as we can, with His grace ... so that He may be proud of us ... that we may be crowned when we get there ... It all boils down to - Unless the Lord builds the house ....
