Start with What You Do Know “Concealed acts concern the LORD our God; but with overt acts, it is for us and our children ever to apply all the provisions of this Teaching.” (Deuteronomy 29:28)
There is so much we don’t understand about the universe. There is so much we still don’t understand about how people work. There is so much we don’t understand about why we behave in certain ways at certain times. "Why?" "How?" Can plague us at times. They can shake us. They can paralyze us. We ask for a sign, we beg for an answer and yet sometimes they never come.
Through it all, keep going. When evil confronts us, be kind. When inexplicable pain befalls those whom we love, hold them closer. When fear overwhelms us, stare into the dark and reach out for someone.
What we don’t know far outweighs what we do know. No doubt. However, what we do know is where we all begin. Love exists. Kindness abounds. And we are in this together.
