Our God

Romans 11:33-36
“33 Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!
34 “For who has known the mind of the Lord,
        or who has been his counselor?”
35 “Or who has given a gift to him
        that he might be repaid?”
36 For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.”

It is pretty crazy when you start to think about how truly amazing our God is…I mean think about all that he has created and done. If that is not mind blowing, I do not know what is. Then as you read through the Gospel you see God sacrifice his son for a nation/world that is completely self-centered and downright wicked.  But regardless of what and or who we are God is God and his love shows through.

We are so mindful of how we stack up against the next person(rather they are believers or not) we are better at this or that. We sit and try to compare ourselves and often we justify why we are or aren’t better than them. But when it comes to God we expect to fall short we allow “human nature” to be our excuse as to why we can never be like God. Which is true we will never be like God…without God. If we allow God to transform our hearts, minds and life we can walk in his ways and be like God. Not like a “god” but we can reflect the glory and grace of the Holy and Living God. Then when I think of how amazing God is I can really say wow, a God that awesome wants to use and live in me.

J just a  few thoughts from today
