Romans 11:33 Oh, the depth of the riches
both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God!
How unsearchable His judgments
and untraceable His ways! Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

We've been going through the book of Romans for over a month now and as we head down the "home stretch" in this great book let's look back and consider some of the things that we've considered. Today's verse is a natural point at which to stop and consider what we've read - verses about grace, love, hope, faithfulness, freedom, mercy and God's sovereignty over all things.
The NLT states, "How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his ways!" When we look back over the course of our lives their are many times when we may not understand His ways, but hopefully we're coming to know and believe that "all things are working together for good" (Rom. 8:28).
As we head further into September, fall will be approaching, leaves will begin to turn, God's majesty in creation will soon be in full display. While we appreciate that turn their is no turning with God. In His wisdom and knowledge He remains true, he remains faithful even when we cannot fathom His ways.
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.
Refrain
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
Romans 11:33-34
Amplified Bible (AMP)
33 Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unfathomable (inscrutable, unsearchable) are His judgments (His decisions)! And how untraceable (mysterious, undiscoverable) are His ways (His methods, His paths)!
34 For who has known the mind of the Lord and who has understood His thoughts, or who has [ever] been His counselor?
