Well, I tried . . . but I can’t explain it.

You can’t explain it from either direction.

In Oswald Chambers words,

Every time you venture out in your life of faith, you will find something in your circumstances that, from a commonsense standpoint, will flatly contradict your faith.  But common sense is not faith, and faith is not common sense.  In fact, they are as different as the natural life and the spiritual.  Can you trust Jesus Christ where your common sense cannot trust Him?
