Ignorancy

    Why is it that we humans believe we understand everything? Why do we continue to tell ourselves, albeit unconsciously, that there is no more to life than we can personally see, hear, or feel? The universe, God’s universe, extends far beyond our simple-minded comprehension. If we wish to understand any more than the miniscule amount we currently do, our only hope is to release all notions of logic. In God’s world, rationality is irrational. After all, why would a being as immense as He choose to be hindered by such a petty idea?

    Consider this. What if our universe, our world, our everything was, in reality, no larger than a speck of dust in another dimension? What if the grains of dirt in our world in actuality house thousands, even millions of living, thinking creatures like ourselves? What if a man were to discover all the secrets of the world, to know everything and everything, and then one day wake up to discover his entire life to be no more than a dream, a trick of the mind? These ideas may seem ridiculous or puerile, but with mankind’s inability to fathom, they could easily be verities.

    One day, on a day the LORD has already decided, we will be called to live with Him and the secrets of the universe will be ours to uncover. We will have millennia at our hands to learn about the world our God has constructed for us, and every new fact we discover will bring glory to His name. Until that day, we can only wait in illiteracy, ignorant of the wonder of our very surroundings and wholly dependent on God’s brilliancy to direct our lives.



Oh my goodness. How long has it been since I've given you all an actual story?? I apologize a bajilion times. School is just…a lot. And volleyball is practically consuming my life. Anyway, this was just done for practice. The idea was inspired by an essay that I helped my older sister read for AP work last night. Hope you enjoyed, even though it was short!
