Deuteronomy 10: 16-17
Circumcise the foreskin of your hearts and stop being stubborn. For the Lord your God is the God of gods and the Lord of lords. He is the Great God, the Mighty and Awesome God, Who shows no partiality and cannot be bribed.
Deuteronomy 10: 13
You must always obey the Lord's commands and decrees ... for your own good.
We are to excise from our attitudes and thinking processes all our own ego. All our own selfishness and self-centeredness. God is God, we are not. We don't know better than God what is good, or good for us.
I don't have to understand all the theological ins and outs, all the deep mysteries of Who He really is. He is God. Period.
He is good: so whatever He says for me to do is good for me. All His Law, all His ways, are based on His Love for all He has made, including me. I am not to judge whether I think He means this or that when He says what He says. All I need to do is to decide to trust Him at His Word. That's my choice, to trust that He knows what He's talking about, and has the power and authority to keep mere men from changing or altering what He has had written. Even through the translation from the Hebrew or Greek into my native tongue.
I know He is Good, because He is Love. His Love put the Order into the chaos that was our Universe (Genesis 1:2), and true Science is the quest to understand that Order. The First Law of Thermodynamics, Conservation of Matter, is the Creation. The Second Law of Thermodynamics, Entropy, is the curse of death God placed on all Creation because of Man's sin.
O my Father, I know I do not understand fully Your ways, for Your ways are so far above my ways. But I also know that everything You do is right and righteous, and brings glory to Your Name. And everything that glorifies You is also the best for us.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
