THE MOMENT OF praise that rejoiced in the unknowable

Sometimes God’s ways just don’t make sense. Answers to prayer confuse us, shut doors frustrate us and missed opportunities lead us to despair.

“God works for our good in all things,” Paul confidently wrote to the Christians in Rome. No, we don’t always understand God’s ways, but they are always good, always wise and always worth trusting.

“Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!” Paul later bursts out in praise. His short, prayerful exclamation of wonder at the unsearchable ways of God is an encouragement for anyone who has ever questioned the Lord’s plans. We don’t have to understand what God’s doing to know that He’s doing what’s right. It’s in His very nature. Who can educate God? Who can teach Him anything? Who does God owe and who finds their life and existence outside of Him? Come and wonder with Paul at the Lord who holds every strand of this world in His loving hands. You’ll discover your soul is satisfied in trusting His might and wisdom, even when you don’t yet understand what He’s doing.
