cliffhanger resolve

this post is an addendum to the previous. in a particular line, i had stated, "these things which do not make sense to me? do not need to make sense to me." i will clarify here: that was crafted with the particular thought in mind, to say "things" stands for "the workings of the world." the spiritual truth behind this is that such things do not make sense. indeed, the wisdom of the world is none at all (this, i gather from my studies of I Corinthians 1 and the book of Proverbs, as well as Luke 11.17-20).

there surely exist things which do objectively make sense, whether those being unveiled by the sciences or those yet hidden by God, which do not make sense to me, and it is the context of that quote i had shared from Ravi Zacharias which reminded me of that distinction:

"God's first answer to Job is a series of 64 questions. Have you ever noticed that Jesus Christ, in the New Testament, nine times out of ten when somebody asked him a question, he replied with another question? Because a question does two things: number one, it forces the questioner to open up within his own assumptions; number two, it determines the entry point of a discussion.
"It forces the questioner to open up within his own assumptions, so that when somebody asks you a question, and you turn around and ask a meaningful question in response, it is not impertinent, but it might help you to give the answer.
...
"That's why I think God looks at Job and says, 'Wait a minute, Job! Are you only going to believe in that which you can comprehensively understand? If that is the case, Job, tell me where were you when the foundations of the earth were laid? where were you when the mountains were sprawled into existence? where were you when the rivers were put into their places?'
"And what God is saying to Job is, 'Look all around you.' And the first argument that God gives to Job is the argument from design. If God could take chaos in this universe and bring such beautiful design, can he not take trouble and turmoil in your life and bring some design out of it?"

it is in Job's story where we learn, alongside Job, what it means to fear the LORD. indeed, we understand in our own lives that in order to learn something from someone, we must acknowledge that person's position to teach; status, as it were. (the negative side of that point was made in Job's discourse with his peers.) in recognizing God as Creator, we are invited to know all that there is to know about creation. and in recognizing Him as King, we may trust Him to take care of us with a greater knowledge than a single one of us can have. and in recognizing Him as God of gods (Daniel 2.47), we accept that He, alone, is worthy of praise (Psalm 136.2).
so yes, there are many things in the world which do not make sense, as Solomon set forth to record in his writings. but i believe we are not meant to answer every conundrum, nor to chase them all from wherever they emerge. we ought to become masters of the knowledge we do have, rather than jacks of that which yet puzzles us.

"The words of the wise are like goads, their collected sayings like firmly embedded nails--given by one Shepherd. [Furthermore, be warned:] Of making many books there is no end, and much study wearies the body."
