As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things.

-Ecclesiastes 11:5

There are deep and mysterious things that we do not know. God has given man a mind that is powerful and creative, and yet there are many  things which are unfathomable. There are mysteries which give us cause to wonder. 

Before man could become proud of his achievements  and knowledge, God reminds him that he even does not know the path of the wind. He does not know where the wind will blow. Neither could man grasp the awesome wonder of  child bearing and child birth. He does not know how a baby is formed and grows in the mother’s womb. He does not know what God is doing and how God created everything.

Man was not present when God laid the foundations of the earth; hanged the planets and the stars in the vastness of the  skies; decreed the boundaries of sea and land; created the springs of the seas and the recesses of the deep (Read Job:38)

Neither could man even fathom the mystery of his own mind  which is endowed with intelligence and understanding, to discover the revealed laws of nature, and harness them to his advantage.

Jeremy Taylor once said, “A religion without mystery must be a religion without God.”
