Romans 11:36

Scripture: Romans 11:36 (NLT) – "For everything comes from Him and exists by His power and is intended for His glory. All glory to Him forever! Amen."

Romans 11 is a powerful chapter that emphasizes God's mercy and His divine plan for both Jews and Gentiles. Paul explains that God's grace and salvation are not exclusive but extended to all people. He highlights how Israel's rejection of Christ allowed salvation to come to the Gentiles, and through their eventual restoration, God's glory will be magnified. Ultimately, Romans 11 reminds us of God’s wisdom, mercy, and sovereignty over all creation, calling us to trust His plan even when we don’t fully understand it.

Sometimes, we feel disconnected or uncertain about where we fit in God's plan. Romans 11 assures us that God’s plans are always bigger and better than we can imagine. Even when things don’t seem to make sense in the moment, God is working everything for His glory and our good. Just as Paul speaks of the mystery of salvation, we too can rest in the mystery of God's love, knowing that He is weaving a masterpiece in our lives. Trust that, in every season, whether it feels like you are being pruned or flourishing, God is in control and will fulfill His purposes.

Father, we stand in awe of Your wisdom and grace. Thank You for Your mercy that extends to all, no matter our background. Help us trust in Your divine plan, even when it feels beyond our understanding. Give us hearts full of faith, knowing that You are always working for our good and for Your glory. May our lives reflect Your love, power, and purpose. In Jesus' name, Amen.
