I liked this article from Phil Towne, “Hanging by a Thread - ‘Bewilderment is the True Comprehension’”
He mentions the certainty of uncertainty in life - his unemployment, God’s direction/plan, and ultimate purpose and worth - and how it’s all made stable by the Rock-solid God of Abraham.
”Discipleship is not limited to what you can comprehend - it must transcend all comprehension. Plunge into the deep waters beyond your own comprehension, and [God] will help you to comprehend even as [He does]. Bewilderment is the true comprehension. Not to know where you are going is the true knowledge. [His] comprehension transcends yours. Thus Abraham went forth from his father and not knowing whether he went…”
- Martin LutherWe have no full stability in this life. There are no guarantees. We can only cling to the one who brings true comprehension amidst our bewilderment. Amen.
