O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counseller? Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.  Romans 11:33-36

After several chapters of difficult teachings, the Apostle Paul ends this section with worship to our God! What a beautiful and humble way to end this section of scripture, remember our God is an awesome God who reigns! The reason we wrestle with these scriptures is as the Apostle Paul states here “O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God” The mind of God is beyond our human comprehension, as The Lord stated through the prophet Isaiah ““For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,” declares the LORD.  “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so My ways are higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55:9)

Job stated “Can you fathom the deep things of God or discover the limits of the Almighty?” (Job 11:7) This is why when we come to the Word of God, we must come with all humility and reverence, and be willing to learn by the Holy Spirit. Just as we look out into the universe, can we fathom how it all began? Or when we look from the shore of the ocean, another whole world is going on under those waters, we are just a grain of sand on the seashore, fill us Lord with your Spirit so we may comprehend your ways and thoughts!

How unsearchable are His judgements and His ways unfathomable! How can we fathom the mind of our Heavenly Father? When you open your Bible, Thank the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit for this unspeakable gift, to learn and know the thoughts of God. “Who has known the mind of The Lord? Or who has become His counselor?” Who can possibly know the mind of God, the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth? The one who breathed your soul into existence? Yet many believe they are Gods counselors! They say well I have this degree and that degree, I was raised in the Church from a child, I know the Word of God! Do you really? “Fear of The Lord is the beginning of wisdom and understanding!” (Proverbs 9:10)

The Apostle Paul actually quotes Job here “Who has given to Me that I should repay him? Everything under heaven is Mine.” (Job 41:11) Everything belongs to The Lord, including You! God doesn’t owe us anything, and we owe Him everything! Humble ourselves before The Lord and you will receive understanding of His word by the Holy Spirit. The Apostle Paul ends this perfectly  “For of Him, and through Him, and to Him, are all things, to whom be the glory forever, Amen!”
