"Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God!" Romans 11:33.
What in the world made Paul exclaim this about God? Well, actually, nothing in the world. The rich depth of God, God's wisdom, God's knowledge - yes! - God's mercy! This elicited that outburst of praise. God's mind to mercify all stuns every other mind with the Lord's unmeasurable and unfathomable ways. Nobody knew about that mercy. Nobody ever advised God about such mercy. God owes nobody nothing for such mercy. Everything points to God over it all. All! All things come from him, all things come through him, and all things are to him. To God be glory for ever! Mercy.
Visiting with a brother or sister today, we meditate on the merciful purposes of God. And, together, we praise God that he should pour out mercy on us all through the gospel of Christ.
