"Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why didst thou make me thus?"
Men always like to reason; but I might well ask if there is any reason why I should have been saved. There is no reason whatsoever. I have neither willed it nor contributed to it, and yet I am saved. This is the most unreasonable thing which has ever happened to me.
When I was young I was frequently offended by the seemingly unreasonable things which God did. Later I read Romans 9, and for the first time in my life I began to see my own littleness and God's greatness. He is so far above all in unapproachable splendor the the glimpse of a tiny fraction of his glory would send us to out knees and make us abandon our reasonings.
The Queen of the South was shown a small part of the glory of Solomon, and there was no more spirit left in her. In the presence of him who is greater than Solomon, what matters my feeble reasoning?
Watchman Nee
