ASLC Devotions -- Thursday

Romans 11:34-35
O the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!
34 ‘For who has known the mind of the Lord?
   Or who has been his counselor?’


The depth of God's riches and wisdom and knowledge -- O! While it's always true, most of us probably live day in and day out without giving a lot of thought to the magnificence of God. I've written before that it can be overwhelming to imagine God in all of God's ways... O, how rich, how wise, how filled with knowledge.

While we might forget, or simply not acknowledge it on a daily basis, remembering that God is God (and we're not) can be helpful. It's not up to us to shoulder the concerns of the world -- God has far more wisdom and knowledge to handle those things that come our way than we ever will. We are to turn to God for counsel, we are not expected to counsel God.

Peace,
Pastor Jenn
