This is all that I have learned: God made us plain and simple, but we have made ourselves very complicated.

God looked at everything he had made, and he was very pleased. Evening passed and morning came---that was the sixth day.

"The LORD is your mighty defender, perfect and just in all his ways; Your God is faithful and true; he does what is right and fair.

And all who heard were completely amazed. "How well he does everything!" they exclaimed. "He even causes the deaf to hear and the dumb to speak!"

The seeds that fell among thorn bushes stand for those who hear the message; but the worries about this life and the love for riches choke the message, and they don't bear fruit.

God punishes them, because what can be known about God is plain to them, for God himself made it plain.

Ever since God created the world, his invisible qualities, both his eternal power and his divine nature, have been clearly seen; they are perceived in the things that God has made. So those people have no excuse at all!

Because those people refuse to keep in mind the true knowledge about God, he has given them over to corrupted minds, so that they do the things that they should not do.

and never be able to understand what God is doing. However hard you try, you will never find out. The wise may claim to know, but they don't.

Can you discover the limits and bounds of the greatness and power of God?

God's power is so great that we cannot come near him; he is righteous and just in his dealings with us.

LORD, you have made so many things! How wisely you made them all! The earth is filled with your creatures.

"My Father has given me all things. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.

How great are God's riches! How deep are his wisdom and knowledge! Who can explain his decisions? Who can understand his ways?
