A box with a small hole
from Daily Picture · host Stephanie Hawkins
Today I had a picture of a box with a little hole from which I could look out at the expanse around me. Meanwhile, whoever was outside the box could not see me inside the box but that doesn't mean I do not exist. It is not a perfect allegory but it helps make the point that one entity can see a lot more than the other but both fully exist. As such, God knows us fully but we only know Him in part. There is so much still for us to understand in the scientific, metaphysical and spiritual realms etc. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding" (Proverbs 3:5). Do you really want the God of our universe to be perfectly explicable to you before you will pay Him any attention?
