Romans 11:33 (NIV)
33 Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out!

The unsearchableness of God is great! Sometimes it is so hard to understand certain things and Romans 11 fits into that category. It messes with your head and challenges your preconceived notions. How God does things, why God does things and what God is doing in the grand scheme of things is incredible! For me, this reminds me that I am not going to figure everything out. Even though we have been given the understanding of mysteries, there is so much to God that is unfathomable. I suppose that we will take an eternity and still not get it all.

This is frustrating and comforting at the same time. It is frustrating because we want to figure it all out. We want to be able to publish books to answer all the questions of humanity. There are certain things that are cut and dry – God is love – but there are other things that are at the very least hard to search out if not unfathomable. However there is a comfort in knowing that God is bigger than us! His ways are not fully understandable! He is greater and grander than us! Isn’t it comforting that God isn’t limited by what we can think? He has your life in His hands, aren’t you glad His hands are bigger than yours? Think about it.
