In 1Corinthians 13 v12 we read, 'Now we see things imperfectly as in a cloudy mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete,but then I will know everything completely,just as God now knows me completely'.In many ways we know many things and understand many things,but in spite of that there are so many things we don't know and understand. Many things are hidden from us,why did this and that happen .There are many unsolved mysteries in life, death ,pain ,loss, etc,and the inevitable why, raises it's head,when certain tragedies happen ,and we want to know why,and then we turn from faith to leaning upon our understanding,and so we start to turn away from God.Many people stumble over the why not been answered. The hymn writer William Cowper wrote,God moves in mysterious ways,we can sing these words,but are we willing to accept what we sing,that is the question. The last verse reads,'Blind unbelief is sure to err, and scan His work in vain; God is his own interpreter,and He will make it plain'.The fact is,that only in heaven will we know more fully. We will never have perfect knowledge ,even in heaven,for only God is omniscient.
