Week 22, Day 2
May 31, 2022 Scripture: Romans 11 “Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, 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 them?” For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen.” (Romans 11:33–36, TNIV) Paul is encouraging persistence in faith. There are those who have fallen away, whether they were Gentiles or Israel. Paul challenges followers to not harden their hearts towards God. Rather, it is a call to remain steadfast and true. We do not understand God’s ways. This much is clear. That misunderstanding, or ignorance of God does not bring us discouragement, but a point of hope. God will sort this all out. Remain steadfast in your hope, in the salvation of Jesus. God is faithful and good. I may not understand God, but what I do know of him is that he is steadfast and true. So I will seek him in this way.
