There is a book in the Old Testament that makes for very interesting reading. It is about a Moabite woman who didn’t stand a chance in life, but ended up as an individual in the lineage of Christ. The only way that can be explained is by the grace of God.

How do sinners like us find ourselves in the family of God? The answer to that is just what we find in the short book of Ruth. Our circumstances and hers needed an alignment of so many variables that only the hand of God could bring it to the proper conclusion. Many a strange situation that leads to such a great salvation can be found in the Word. How can we ever completely understand the Creator of the universe?

Take a look at what the Prophet Isaiah recorded:

Isaiah 40:13-15

 Who has directed the Spirit of the Lord,

Or as His counselor has taught Him?
With whom did He take counsel, and who instructed Him,
And taught Him in the path of justice?
Who taught Him knowledge,
And showed Him the way of understanding?

 Behold, the nations are as a drop in a bucket,
And are counted as the small dust on the scales;
Look, He lifts up the isles as a very little thing.

No, it can’t be fathomed, but His work certainly needs to be appreciated.

Give it some thought.
