Frustrations

Do you ever feel inadequate? I do when I do not understand things, especially when they are mathematical in nature. In my discrete mathematics class we were posed a problem on the first day of class that we have been working on. This week, our chapter provides the information needed to solve the problem, however I cannot seem to understand all of the parts involved in the solution. It is very frustrating. I have been stuck on the same mental block for 8 weeks, and I just cannot seem to overcome this problem that has been proposed. I do not like this disequilibrium, however, it is humbling and causes me to remember that my mind is so small and insignificant to the mind of God. His genius is unsurpassed and He does not get frustrated over not knowing the answers, because He is the one who designed math and knows all of its ins and outs far better than we could, even if we had an 1,000,000,000,000,000... years to study it. That awes me. Our God, the Ultimate Mathematician, always has know and will always know that solution to the problem, even if I never solve it on this earth, that gives me a sense of peace. There is One who has all the answers when I do not. Inadequacy and frustrations within my own mind are what cause me to fall on my knees and praise the One who created me.
