Romans 11:33
33 Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!
There’s a question in the political world about the way a candidate should be presented. Should he or she be a man of the people, just like the average Joe, or above the people, truly the best candidate for the job? Many folks seem to want a God who is just like them, judging others the way we judge and forgiving us the way we want to be forgiven. While we want a God who knows what it is like to be us, we need a God who can handle the incredible task of running the Universe.
In Jesus, we have both. Hebrews 4:15 says, “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.” He knows what it’s like to be you. Yet, as Paul declares in Romans 11:33, He is beyond our understanding in every way. God has the wisdom to bring about His good ends no matter what comes. Trust in His unsearchable wisdom.
Prayer prompt: Lord, I trust Your inscrutable ways, no matter what it seems like from here.
