Christopher Morley said:

I went to the theatre
With the author of a successful play.
He insisted on explaining everything.
Told me what to watch,
The details of direction,
The errors of the property man,
The foibles of the star.
He anticipated all my surprises
And ruined the evening.
Never again!–And mark you,
The greatest Author of all
Made no such mistake.

So, maybe it is a good thing God doesn’t tell us everything. As much as we want to ask why he gives certain commands or allows different tragedies to befall us, he does have a reason for it. For us to know, would remove the wonder. It would diminish our faith, not increase it. It makes living this spiritual journey exciting and scary, but it will be worth it to see how it all ends.
