Scripture to Read: Romans 11:33–36
We are all preparing for corporate worship with other believers today. It’s always a precious time of fellowship with our Lord as we meet with other believers and honor and praise our King. As we finish Romans 11, God had Paul end with this in Romans 11:33–36, “Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways! 34 For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who became His counselor? 35 Or who has first given to Him that it might be paid back to him again? 36 For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen.” What an incredible reminder that God’s wisdom and knowledge are so rich and abundant that we can never fully comprehend His wisdom and knowledge. God is making it clear that we can't understand His decisions and ways! God even had Isaiah pen this in Isaiah 55:8–9, “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” declares the Lord. 9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.” God will carry out His will, purpose, and plans whether we fully understand them or not. It’s not that we have to know everything God is going to do, but we must trust Him that He will accomplish everything according to His perfect will. And we must choose to obey His plans according to His Word.
