Romans 11:33-36
Paul ends this section with an outpouring of spontaneous praise. This could be a hymn that the early church sang or it could be a Paul original. In any case, what Paul sings about is the incredible depths to the mind of God. He is entirely beyond figuring out - not because he is inconsistent (although from a human perspective he can seem that way) but because he is so completely different than we are and anything else that we've ever experienced is. Paul also sings about the fact that God does not owe anyone anything. No one has ever given to God what God hasn't given to him in the first place. No one holds God in his debt. He is the source of all things and the giver of all things.
My heart bursts to sing of God's greatness! Even though I can't understand him and even when he seems dangerous and untame I know that he is good and he is great. Sing with me?

Blevos is the name we came up with for web-logging-devotions. It all started with a discussion about the role of community and the role of "private" devotions. It was decided this was a great mix.
