The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Romans 11:33 & 36, “Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!

How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!

36 For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever.

Amen.”

The richness of this chapter deserves more comment than I’m giving it.

Paul notes that when Adam sinned, the LORD literally constructed the

nation of Israel out of Abram. As Israel sinned, God gave the Laws

(10 Commandments) like speed-limit signs, to indicate Israel’s sin. When

Israel ignored God’s commandments, He ignored them and shared His

love with the Gentiles. It was His intention to provoke a jealousy in Israel

that would cause them to return to Him. The LORD never ceased to love

Israel. He knew that in time, Israel would accept His love and return

to Him. They haven’t yet, but we’re nearing the time when they will.

This is what Paul had in mind when he said, “Oh, the depths of the riches

both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!” And then he adds, “For from

Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever.

Amen.”

Despite the turmoil that exists in the world today, the LORD is working out

His will. He doesn’t give us all the details we’d like to have as to how this

all fits together. But, He has given us more than we’ve uncovered, because

our minds are centered on things other than His Word. We need to focus

on the LORD! Everything comes from Him and returns to Him and glorifies

Him. Life is not about us; it’s about Him! We need to get with the Program!

We love and pray for you daily! Whatever you do, don’t miss God’s plan

for your life!
