St. John Chrysostom: Tell me, how does the bee frame her comb...
Tell me, how does the bee frame her comb, then you shall speak about God as well. Master the handiwork of the ant, the spider, and the swallow, and then you shall speak about God as well...He indeed who says he is ignorant knows something, And what is that?
That it is incomprehensible to man...God has marked out the limits to our knowledge, and has laid them deep in nature. He assigns the whole to His will. So let us only 'give thanks for all things' ...This is the part of a well-disposed, of a wise intelligent servant...
St. John Chrysostom
on Ephesians 5
