Over the past 9 years or so that this blog has been up we have seen the coastlines of the law that directs us in the way that we should go, but that does not always mean that we do so. Why is this a fact of life one answer can be found and known in the following passage taken from our text of Romans 11:25-12:2 it is in verses 34-36 of this passage and states this, "For who has known the mind of the LORD, or who has been His counselor?" (Isaiah 40:13f) "Or who has given a gift to him that he might be repaid?" (Job 35:7, 41:1) For from [Because of] Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be glory forever, [the] Amen." Within this we have the stumbling block of many in religions stronghold of blindness and ignorance of spiritual things when they call all to "God Unsearchable Ways." Today I want to look at this a little more closely.
GOD Unsearchable, His ways and working,
Job 5:8-16 "As for me, I would seek God, and to God would I commit my cause, Who does great things and unsearchable, marvelous things without number: He gives rain on the earth and sends waters on the fields; He sets on high those who are lowly, and those who mourn are lifted to safety. He frustrates the devices of the crafty, so that their hands achieve no success. He catches the wise in their own craftiness, and the schemes of the wily are brought to a quick end. They meet with darkness in the daytime and grope at noonday as in the night. But He saves the needy from the sword (wrath) of their mouth and from the hand of the mighty. So the poor have hope, and injustice shuts her mouth."
Job 11:7-12 "Can you find out the deep things of God? Can you find out the limit of the Almighty? It is higher than heaven—what can you do? Deeper than Sheol—what can you know? Its measure is longer than the earth and broader than the sea. If He passes through and imprisons and summons the court, who can turn Him back? For He knows worthless men; when He sees iniquity, will He not consider it? But a stupid man will get understanding when a wild donkey's colt is born a man!"
Ecclesiastes 3:9-11 with 8:17 What gain has the worker from his toil? I have seen the business that God has given to the children of man to be busy with. He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, He has put eternity (Genesis 2:15-17, 3:15) into man's heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end."
Ecclesiastes 8:16-17 "When I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done on earth, how neither day nor night do one's eyes see sleep, then I saw all the work of God, that man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun. However much man may toil in seeking, he will not find it out. Even though a wise man claims to know, he cannot find it out."
Isaiah 40:27-31 with Romans 11:34 "Why do you say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, "My way is hidden from the LORD, and my right is disregarded by my God"? Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might He increases strength. Even youths will faint and be weary, and young men will fall exhausted; but they who wait for [to be bound together with] the LORD will renew their strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles; they will run and not be weary; they will walk and not faint."
Romans 11:33-36 "Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways! "For who has known the mind of the LORD [Who is the LORD Christ in Jesus], or who has been his counselor?" (Isaiah 40:13f) "Or who has given a gift to him that he might be repaid?" (Job 35:7, 41:11) For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be glory forever. The Amen."
1Corinthians 2:14-16 "The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. The spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. "For who has understood the mind of the LORD so as to instructed Him?" (Isaiah 40:13) For we have the mind* of Christ."
*Thayer''s Greek Definitions, Strong's G1097 the base of G3563 states this about "mind;" to know, understand, perceive, have knowledge of, to understand, to know.
