“And what shall I more say..?"
(Heb. 11:32)
The words of our text above remind me of a line from the song, How Firm a Foundation. “What more can He say than to you He hath said/ To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?” Within the pages of God’s Holy Writ there is everything we need to know about how to live in this life and prepare for the next. Anything not recorded, God deems unnecessary for us at this time. It is futile to look for answers God hasn’t given.
Philosophers such as Plato, Aristotle, and Socrates spent a lifetime seeking for the hidden things of God, while neglecting those things that God did reveal for both us and our children. These wise men should have heeded the wisdom of the old man (Abraham). His words to one who sought something apart from God’s revelation were, “If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded…” And neither will we, my friend.
Be satisfied with what God has revealed, or spend your life seeking unanswerable questions.
