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 them?”
For from him and through him and for him are all things.
To him be the glory forever! Amen. (Romans 11:33-36)
In the culmination of Paul's letter to the Romans he is moved to awe and wonder. He has attempted to give insight into God's dealings both with Jews and with Gentiles. He has shared his convictions concerning God's character, including convictions with regard to God's love, mercy, grace, justice, patience, salvation, and more. Paul concludes with the idea that all things belong in God's economy, because all things are from, through, and for God and God alone!
How can you feel left out, reader? How can I?
