Of knowledge (7)

"Oh, how great are God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his ways!

For who can know the Lord’s thoughts?
Who knows enough to give him advice?
And who has given him so much
that he needs to pay it back?

For everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended for his glory. All glory to him forever! Amen."

(Romans 11.33-36 NLT)

Many of us think we are qualified to give the Lord some advice on how to run this world. We may not boast it, but it is implied in a few thoughts here and there, although we may not admit it.

It is because we want him to run this world as we would.

But he does not and would not. Because he knows infinitely more.

And I ought to trust him completely. He knows what he is doing.
