Things You Don't Know

Can you remember the first time you heard the expression "the tip of the iceberg"?  Can you remember what it felt like when you realized that the ice mountains we see breaking the surface of the water are only a fraction of their actual size?  Incredible.  You don't know by looking at an iceberg, how big it is.

Here are some other things you don't know...

You don't know how many gallons of water there are in the ocean
     or how many grains of sand there are on even one beach
          or what forms of life exist at the deepest parts of the ocean

And you don't know the day or the hour when Jesus will return to earth (Matthew 24:36)

You don't know if the Loch Ness Monster exists
     or the Abominable Snowman
          or Bigfoot

And you don't know the things God has prepared for those who love Him (1 Corinthians 2:9)

You don't know where disappearing socks go
     or how many different kinds of insects there are in the rainforest
          or what happened to Amelia Earhart

And you don't know the secret things of God (Deuteronomy 29:29)

You don't know where the Ark of the Covenant is
     or what the deal is with crop circles
          or if there is a Fountain of Youth

And you don't know how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ (Ephesians 3:18)

Neither do I.  But someday I will.  And in the meantime, I sure love wondering!
