Romans 11:33-36
King James Version (KJV)
33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.
Romans 11:33-36
Living Bible (TLB)
33 Oh, what a wonderful God we have! How great are his wisdom and knowledge and riches! How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his methods! 34 For who among us can know the mind of the Lord? Who knows enough to be his counselor and guide? 35 And who could ever offer to the Lord enough to induce him to act? 36 For everything comes from God alone. Everything lives by his power, and everything is for his glory. To him be glory evermore.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
33 Those that have God are rich in the blessing that come from knowing Him and become sons of the King thru Christ our Lord. Wisdom is to accept the truth of God, the gospel. Knowledge comes from following God and growing to be who He wants us to be. We can gain knowledge of the word and serving Him. God is the creator of the world and everything in the world is truly His, and we follow Him. We will never be able to understand everything the lord does because sometimes it is done for years or even generations down the road. Some things God does we will understand some things we may understand in time. God knows what He is doing we need to have faith and trust Him.
34 In the story of Job, he questions the Lord and the lord puts him in his place. No one is bigger than the Lord God. No one has power and control of things as God does.
35 No one can truly do anything for the Lord. The Lord does not need any of us; He is still the Lord without us. We as believers are blessed to serve Him and please Him. He is not only Lord God but thru our relationship with Christ we can call Him the Father. Our relationship with Him makes us better than we can be without Him and makes us just thru the blood of Christ.
36 All good things are of God. We are made of God and remade by God thru Christ our Lord. We are made to bring worship to the Lord. These are done by living they way He wants us to which can not be done without first accept Jesus and what He did for us. The praise of men will come to an end but the praise of the Lord will go on forever, it is as eternal as He is.
