The Depth of the Riches

Romans 11:33 ¶  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. 12:1 ¶  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

We returned safely home from Alabama to our own beds, rejoicing in a wonderful week with one third of our grandchildren, and when we opened the front door this morning to welcome our church family to worship in our home, what should we find on the front porch but a "love" package from "adopted" grandchildren in Arizona! How great is our God to give us children and grandchildren the world over! We consider it a joy and a privilege to be loved as grandparents to our own flesh and blood, as well as to others in the household of faith. God is so merciful to us sinners-- He not only calls us to be heirs with Christ, but also gives us an extended family on earth!

For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.
