HUMBLED

Rom 11:33-36
33 Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out! 34 "Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?" 35 "Who has ever given to God, that God should repay him?" 36 For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen.
NIV
What can be added to this? Not a thing! I am completely humbled by these words. How often I think of myself as important in some sense or another. Oh sure, not very important, not like some of the great men and women of the past and even in this present time. Then the other day I received that email showing the comparison of the size of the Earth with our Sun and then other Suns and so on, How small and puny our planet looks, and me just one of billions of people upon it. Just how important am I? Not much, not anything, and then I read these words, and consider just how big, how awesome, how incredibly huge and important God is. How can I ever imagine knowing anything about Him? But I do, not because of my brain, or my abilities in any way, but because He decided to reveal himself not only to me, but to everyone. But still there is nothing I can say that would be in any way close to what He says. The wisdom I have does not even come close in any way to His wisdom. I have such a limited amount of knowledge, so limited in fact, it cannot be measured compared to His. How can I even dare to think any judgment I would make would stand anywhere close to His? Even though He has directed my path, it pales in comparison to His. Although I read and study His Word, I cannot fathom His mind. Without question, I would never even to presume to advise God. The only thing I have to give Him is me, and I am nothing in compared to what He has given me. It surely isn’t anything close to a repayment. Yet with all that known, I am completely humbled that He loves me, and cares so much about me, and my life. Why? I truly cannot understand, but I do know He does, and because of that I can live, content and fulfilled. I am in His hands. I am aware all things, which include me, are from Him, and through Him and to Him. Praise His Holy Name!
