The works of God are beyond our full comprehension
V5-8
5 Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
These verses show us that although we must be born again by the Spirit of God, how this happens remains a mystery to us. We cannot really see wind and cannot predict everything about it. Similarly, the work of the Spirit is not something we can completely understand. We know that what the Spirit does works, and why, but the intricacies are beyond our comprehension. This reminds me of Ecclesiastes 3:11.
God has a purpose for us
Ecclesiastes 3:11
11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.
We do not know and cannot find out what will happen in our lives, yet we know that as long as we hold on to God, He has a purpose for us in all that we do and that it will all work out beautifully and for good.
Romans 8:28
28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
Trust in the Lord
Since God knows what is best for us, we need to trust in Him, in His timing and wisdom, because His ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts higher than our thoughts. Always.
Isaiah 55:9
9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.
Jeremiah 29:11
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
