The more I learn about spiritual things or even about earthly things, the more I know that I know nothing. Absolutely nothing. And in the grand scheme of things the people with doctorates and research grants and fancy words and brilliant minds they know very little more than my nothingness. How little we know and can see of truth and of knowledge and yet we keep trying (and we SHOULD), but we are nothing and we KNOW nothing.
Moses, who with all of his firsthand faith and experience with miracles and God, was "caught up into an exceedingly high mountain" where he was transfigured and saw and spoke with God. Without being transfigured he wouldn't have been able to do such for so great is the power of and glory of God. When God withdrew from him and Moses' natural strength returned to him he said "Now, for this cause I know that man is nothing, which thing I never had supposed." (Moses 1:10)
He continues in verse 11; "But now mine own eyes have beheld God; but not my natural, but my spiritual eyes, for my natural eyes could not have beheld; for I should have withered and died in his presence; but his glory was upon me; and I beheld his face, for I was transfigured before him."
We are nothing. We know nothing. We can't pretend to know the plans of God or even His intent. All we can do is closely follow the Spirit, whether our natural selves agree with it or not, because in doing so we will find peace and our hearts will be changed to follow Him.
