O the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways! “For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?” “Or who has given a gift to him, to receive a gift in return?” For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory forever. Amen. (Romans 11:33-36, NRSV)
Everything that we have has come from one place…
Everything that is around us came from that same place…
Everything that is now or ever was or ever will be came from that same place also…
Who are we to seek to counsel God in anything?
He wants us to follow Him, not offer Him advice. He has created all things, and has given us every good thing we have, and has walked with us through every dark valley we have trodden, so trust Him, and expect nothing from Him, but know that you will always be richly blessed by Him!
