Our carnality wants wiggle room to dominate and to focus on the here and now rather than the ultimate purpose for which we were created. Even though the evidence from creation is insurmountable, people deliberately want to disregard it because accepting it would require that they submit to His will, something which the recalcitrant carnal mind from Adam and Eve to the present day is loath to do, preferring to satisfy its selfish, greedy desires.
God Works in Mysterious Ways (Part Three) sermon: God Works in Mysterious Ways (Part Three) John W. Ritenbaugh Given 23-Dec-17; Sermon #1411; 68 minutes. Sometimes God tells His people to do things that seem strange or even meaningless, but end up being a redemptive or victorious part of their story. Chuck Sligh. Series: Ruth. The apparent reason for Israel's current blindness is an adjustment on God's part to allow the "fulness of the Gentiles" to occur (Romans 11:25. Perhaps the phrase “God moves in mysterious ways” was coined because in the Bible, God often did the UNEXPECTED. God seldom acts or moves the way we think He should. INTRODUCTION. Most of modern Israel has been afflicted with a blindness of God's purposeful intent, even though it is eminently clear in both the public revelation (the creation itself, Romans 1:20) and the private revelation (God's Holy Scriptures unlocked through God's Holy Spirit).

Why would they need to march around it when they could just storm it and capture the city? The lying, carnal mind, despite the testimony of creation and scripture, claims that if God exists He has no plan or purpose, ignoring God's stated intention of creating mankind in His image.

I suppose that one of the greatest mysteries about God and His movement is that He often works through pain and sorrow. The Mystery of Pain and Sorrow. “God helps those who help themselves.” “The truth will set you free.” “God works in mysterious ways.” As much as we at Mysterious Ways like that last one, the only phrase above that is in the good book is “the truth will set you free,” in the Gospel of John. Psalm 147:5 states that God's understanding is beyond our measure, which means that we cannot possibly comprehend all the ways that He works throughout our lives.
