Testimonies for the Church Volume 8
in the surroundings of our daily life there are many things beyond the
comprehension of finite minds; that the judgment and purposes of God
are past finding out. His wisdom is unsearchable.
Skeptics refuse to believe in God because with their finite minds
they cannot comprehend the infinite power by which He reveals Him-
self to men. But God is to be acknowledged more from what He
does not reveal of Himself than from that which is open to our limited
comprehension. Both in divine revelation and in nature, God has given
to men mysteries to command their faith. This must be so. We may
be ever searching, ever inquiring, ever learning, and yet there is an
infinity beyond.

“Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of His hand,
And meted out heaven with the span,
And comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure,
And weighed the mountains in scales,
And the hills in a balance?
Who hath directed the Spirit of Jehovah,
Or being His counselor hath taught Him? . . .
Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket,
And are accounted as the small dust of the balance:
Behold, He taketh up the isles as a very little thing.
[262]
“And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn,
Nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering.
All the nations are as nothing before Him;
They are accounted by Him as less than nothing, and
vanity.
