One of the things I deeply admire about Paul is his humility -- it is genuine and it is grounding. He remembers who he was, and what God has done for him. He went from a weapon pointed at the heart of the Christian church to an advocate for the unsearchable riches of Christ, and he recognizes that while it doesn't make sense to him, it is the wisdom of the God who created all things.
Paul reminds us that we often don't understand how God is at work. It can be a mystery to see God's hand in things at times, but Paul reminds us that we don't have to grasp it all. We can't wrap our minds around God, but the same God that created all things has granted you access through Christ. So let us also not lose heart but continue to trust in God.
Prayer for Today: Lord, let your grace shape our hearts, that we might proclaim your love in word and deed.
