November 5 "Not A Trace" Romans 11

"Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God!  How unsearchable are His judgments, and His Ways past tracing out!  For Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been His Counselor"?  Romans 11:33-34.

Inconceivable Riches.
Inexhaustible Resources.
Incomprehensible

No one can trace His Ways.
"Past Tracing Out."
A metaphor taken from animals that pursue their prey by "tracing their footsteps."
We can't even trace the Perfect Pattern and Giver of All.

We find the author of this book, Paul, closing Romans with astonishing praise.  We should expect to find an author's voice but we find a man overflowing in Unsearchable Words of Life.  Benson says that Paul had sailed in "narrow seas" but now he is in an immense ocean of God's wisdom and knowledge.  And so are we.  Will we trust Him with what stirs within my soul this season?

COME BOLDLY:  Timeless Prayers
Oh, the depth of this ocean of Love and Wisdom that gets us all through our problems guided and graced.  Fasten my heart to the words of this page that my eyes and ears find these inexhaustible resources.

PHOTO:  Standing on that teeny tiny island of a teeny sea.  Contemplating oh! the Inexhaustible Resources that God has for me in 'this' graced place.  I am so entangled in a myriad of problems.  Working out my salvation with fear & trembling.  Fastening what I can---come, Lord Jesus, fasten me firmly.
