Romans 11: 33-36
Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out! “Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?” “Who has ever given to God, that God should repay him?” For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen
God has always been the one with the answers, and we are the ones with the questions. Isaiah and Job had the same questions we have. The more I read God’s word the more I understand this: We are to be in relationship with God. We are not meant to understand all of the “hows”, the “whys” and the “whens“ of God. My relationship with God should drive all my other relationships and all of my choices. That is wisdom to me.
Lord above, you live in me and in everyone. Help me to see you in others, and to look to you for direction in all I do and say. You have made yourself fully available to me, and I will try to be more mindful. Amen

Again I will say that God’s methods and means are beyond our comprehension, Our faith shows he governs the universe and our lives in perfect wisdom, justice and love.
Verses (34-36)
These verses imply that no one has fully understood the mind of the Lord. No one counseled him. God owes nothing to any one of us. God alone is the absolute power and absolute wisdom. We are absolutely dependent on God. He…
20200923 Wed, Daily Devotion - Romans 11:36 (NIV)
“For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen.”
What I found from Romans 11:36 is that Wisdom is to know everything came from Him and through Him and will go back to Him and for His glory. When we know where the start, end, and direction are, we can live, do, and make the right decision on the right path.
Father, thank you for letting me know where I came from, go toward, and will end where. Please be with me by the Spirit and lead me toward where you want me to go. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
