Jimmy Buffet and Jesus!

Well..."it's 5:00p somewhere" in the words of the classic Jimmy Buffet/Alan Jackson song.  It's actually 5:27p here and I'm still at work...exhausted after an extremely packed day...trying to keep up with the pace of life...

In the middle of replying to a question via email today...I was encouraged by the unimaginable vastness of the God of the universe...His greatness and awe...sovereignty and omnipotent glory...whew! Big words are due for a big God!

Think about this scripture from Romans 11:33-36 and let it sink in, stack it up next to your problems, weigh it with your worries...

Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out! 

       “ For who has known the mind of the LORD?
      Or who has become His counselor?”
       “ Or who has first given to Him
      And it shall be repaid to him?”
For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen.

Think about that...in scripture it is designated as a Doxology, meaning a hymn or song of praise to the greatness of God.  "His ways are past finding out!"  When I come to something I don't understand...something that challenges my rationale...overwhelms, or shakes me...I lean on the reality that God is so far above all human wisdom and understanding.  His greatness exceeds anything I could wrap my brain around...His ways are past finding out...but I have no doubt...that He's working it out for me...

It's 5 o'clock somewhere, so I can chill and know He's got it all under control!
