For someone like me who is mechanically challenged, reading the instructions given to me by the manufacturers of the products that I buy is frustrating and confusing. These directions don’t seem to match the pieces that I am given. Why are there always “extra” pieces after I am done assembling the product?
Romans 11:33-35 says, “Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways! For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor? Or who has given a gift to him that he might be repaid?” The person who boasts of his/her wisdom is arrogant and has been deceived. God’s wisdom, understanding, and judgments are far beyond our own, and we do not possess any gifts that He would need. It is only through His grace and mercy that we can receive wisdom and discernment.
