The Message

The apostle Paul, as he completes a summary of the ultimate purposes of God, breaks into a hymn of praise (Romans 11:33-36). His words lift our gaze to our sovereign God, whose ways are beyond our limited ability to understand or trace (v. 33). Yet the One who holds all things together in the heavens and on earth is intimately and lovingly involved with every detail of our lives (Matthew 6:25-34; Colossians 1:16).

Even when things seem confusing, God's divine plans are unfolding for our good and for God's honor and glory.

Living for God now, by the leading of the Holy Spirit, makes the decisions about what is next much easier. "The LORD gives wisdom; . . He holds success in store of the upright, . . He guards the course of the just and protects the way of His faithful ones" (Proverbs 2:6-8).

May God supply what we need for us to live by His guidelines now, and may He guide us into what's next for His honor.

Psalms 42:5-6
⁵Why am I discouraged?
Why am I restless?
I should trust you, Lord.
I will praise you again
because you help me,
⁶and you are my God.
