"The mystery of providence defies our attempt to tame it by reason. I do not mean it is illogical; I mean that we do not know enough to be able to unpack it and domesticate it. Perhaps we may gauge how content we are to live with our limitations by assessing whether we are comfortable in joining the biblical writers in utterances that mock our frankly idolatrous devotion to our own capacity to understand."
D.A. Carson, from How Long, O Lord?: Reflections on Suffering and Evil (Grand Rapids, MI: Baker, 1990), p. 226.
