“Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!” – Romans 11:33
Take this verse as your invitation to worship God rather than question His wisdom. To be delighted in Him rather than frustrated when you don’t understand what He’s doing. God’s ways are not your ways. His thoughts aren’t your thoughts. Why? Because His thoughts are infinitely higher, deeper, and wider than yours. No offense intended, but it’s true! There’s no limit to God’s perfect knowledge of every detail of the universe and everything in it. There’s no limit to God’s wisdom. His knowledge and wisdom are truly endless in a way that yours will never be.
His judgments are “unsearchable” meaning that humans are simply incapable of ever fully understanding all that factors into God’s decisions. His knowledge of everything public and private is complete and perfect. He knows everything that has ever been, everything that is, and everything that ever will be. God knows how all these things weave together in ways that we can barely speculate about.
God’s ways are inscrutable to us because He isn’t just some really big, awesome, and powerful version of a human being. He’s an infinite, eternal Being Who literally spoke the universe into existence, formed mankind out of dust, and breathed life into us. These are things beyond our comprehension! We can say the words but still can’t fully understand how God created everything from nothing.
Don’t be bothered by these things! Let them build your trust and confidence in the perfect will and ways of your Creator. Let them inspire you to submit fully to His Lordship over your life. Let them move you to deep worship. Let them lead you to #FollowJesus
