Only when I understand God as mystery can I let Him lead.
Only when I understand God as mystery can I truly depend on Him and remain open to what I do not yet understand.
If God is not mysterious, and His plans are not mysterious, then I will lead.
I will lead by trying to live from a place of total "knowing" and "understanding."
Inevitably, I will get it wrong.
The indwelling of the Holy Spirit makes my dependency on God possible, for I am "yoked" to Christ. If I were not yoked to Christ, then I would be lost at sea in my unknowing. Yet, sacramentally bound to Christ, Christ can move forward and I can follow, even when I don't understand. God has ways of guiding me and getting me "from A to B" without my conscious understanding participating in His plans, at least at an executive level of comprehension.
Praise God! Praise God in His mysterious, Triune nature.
