Do you ever wonder about the seemingly infinite vastness of space and the amazingly minute realities of cells, DNA, atoms, protons, and so on, and how mankind seems to be a reality at a point somewhere between the two? And do you ever wonder along the same comparative contrast about the transcendence of God beyond us and God's immanence within us and how we are a reality that exists in the middle of the two?
Do you ever wonder how the presence of peace calls for an absence of injustice, how human flourishing (shalom) is possible when justice reigns and injustice is banished? Does it seem amazing how in the face of gross injustice, nevertheless some people have a way of embracing and abiding in peace? Jesus said, "My peace I give you, not as the world gives. Let not your heart be troubled . . ." (Gospel of John 14:27)
Do you ever wonder why we are made so that in our youth at the peak of our physical abilities we often lack wisdom, yet at the end of life when our abilities wane and our physical capacities diminish prudence and wisdom are a more abundant blessing? Scripture says the Lord God gives us the Spirit of Wisdom (Ephesians 1:17).
