Stirred By The Scriptures

We so want life to make sense, at least most of us do.  Wrapped up in that sentiment is our belief that God should make sense, at least to our way of thinking. So when events happen that we believe are not fair or we are left shaking our heads in confusion - we blame God.  Many times the blame begins like this - “How could a loving God…?” One of the passages I have underlined in my Bible is Romans 11:33-36:

“Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgements, and his paths beyond tracing out! Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor? Who has ever given to God, that God should repay him? For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen.”

Whether it makes sense or not, seems fair or not maybe I need to acknowledge that he is God.
