No, really, how could we as mere humans do that? What Jehovah God, the Creator, has in mind is immeasurably superior to what we imperfect human creatures may have in mind or could imagine of ourselves. He calls attention to this vital fact in the prophecy of Isaiah 55:8, 9, where it is written: “‘For the thoughts of you people are not my thoughts, nor are my ways your ways,’ is the utterance of Jehovah. ‘For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.’” So, he purposes something far better for his human creatures, especially for those who come into a covenant relationship with him, than we creatures here on earth could ever frame up. Little wonder, then, that, after discussing a unique feature of Jehovah’s arrangement and how it is being worked out, the “apostle to the nations” was inspired to say: “O the depth of God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How unsearchable his judgments are and past tracing out his ways are!” (Romans 11:13, 33) Certainly no man has traced out God’s ways in advance for him. So, the inspired apostle goes on to make this comment: “For ‘who has come to know Jehovah’s mind [noun], or who has become his counselor?’” (Romans 11:34). The Jerusalem Bible reads here: “Who could ever know the mind of the Lord? Who could ever be his counsellor?” By those words the apostle does not mean that, after God reveals what is on his mind, a man cannot know or understand His mind. No, for God has disclosed his mind to us humans on the pages of his inspired Word, the Holy Scriptures. What the apostle means is that no man, of his own origination and in advance of God’s framing His own mind or purpose, could ever have worked out or developed the same thing with his thinking faculties! Prior to God’s own revelation, no man has proved to have done so. When you study physics or astronomy, and see the beginnings of just how powerful God is, then you can begin to understand that a mere human could fully comprehend everything that there is to know about our Grand Creator. However, remember what the Bible writer James said: Draw close to God, and he will draw close to you” (James 4:8)
