Romans 11:33
33 Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!
Should politicians be like us or above us? A man of the people, just like the average Joe, or above the people, truly the best candidate for the job? What we need in a leader is both. It’s the same with God. While we want a God who knows what it is like to be us, we need a God who can handle the incredible task of running the Universe.
Hebrews 4:15 tells us Jesus is both. “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.” He knows what it’s like to be you. He is also beyond our understanding in every way. God has the wisdom to bring about His good ends no matter what comes. Trust in His unsearchable wisdom.
Prayer prompt: Lord, I trust Your inscrutable ways, no matter what it seems like from here.
