The knight of faith accepts that he may never understand God's plan from "summary" of Fear and Trembling by Soren Kierkegaard

The knight of faith is a paradoxical figure, for he possesses a profound trust in God's wisdom and goodness, while at the same time acknowledging the limitations of human understanding. He recognizes that God's plan may be beyond his comprehension, and yet he does not despair or doubt. Instead, he embraces this uncertainty as a test of his faith, choosing to believe in God's higher purpose even in the face of confusion and doubt. This acceptance of the unknowable is not a sign of weakness or ignorance, but rather a testament to the knight's profound faith and commitment to God. He understands that true faith requires a willingness to surrender one's own understanding and trust in God's plan, even when it seems incomprehensible or unfair. In this way, the knight of faith transcends the limitations of human reason and logic, embracing a higher form of understanding that comes from a deep and abiding trust in God. For the knight of faith, the uncertainty and mystery of God's plan are not sources of fear or anxiety, but rather opportunities for growth and spiritual development. He sees these challenges as tests of his faith, opportunities to deepen his relationship with God and strengthen his trust in divine providence. Rather than seeking to decipher God's plan through human reasoning or logic, the knight of faith chooses to embrace the mystery and embrace the unknown, confident in the knowledge that God's wisdom surpasses all human understanding. In this way, the knight of faith embodies a radical form of trust and surrender, choosing to believe in God's plan even when it seems inscrutable or unfair. He does not seek to understand God's ways through human reason or logic, but instead chooses to trust in God's goodness and wisdom, even in the face of uncertainty and doubt. This willingness to accept the unknowable is what sets the knight of faith apart, allowing him to transcend the limitations of human understanding and embrace a higher form of knowledge that comes from a deep and abiding trust in God's plan.
