It's all about Him...

"Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and^[a] knowledge of God!
   How unsearchable his judgments,
   and his paths beyond tracing out!
³⁴ “Who has known the mind of the Lord?
   Or who has been his counselor?”^[b]
35 “Who has ever given to God,
   that God should repay them?”^[c]
36 For from him and through him and for him are all things.
  To him be the glory forever! Amen." Romans 11:33-36

Powerful words spoken by Paul and inspired by God, this word from God gives us a clear perspective on our lives. "Who has ever given to God, that God should repay them?" There's nothing on this earth that we have that God has not provided us. As believers we know that the lives we live, the breath in our lungs, our ability to think and feel and love, were all free gifts from God our creator. We owe Him everything, He owes us nothing. There is nothing that we could possibly offer God that He didn't already give us. We were created by Him, through Him and for Him, not by ourselves, through our own doing and for ourselves. In this Doxology, Paul praises God, encouraging fellow believers to glorify God, for He is our reason for being. Who else deserves to be glorified aside from God? Aside from Him being God the Creator, He is our rock in times of trouble, our Salvation, the God of all comfort and the Father of Compassion. He is Alpha and Omega, the Faithful God and the God who hears our voices. He is our deliverer and our fortress. He is love and trust, truth and life. There is none like God and no one more deserving of all the glory and honor and praise. To God be the glory forever!
