“For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen.”
(Romans 11:36 NIV)
One of the often quoted and famous verses from Romans.
I read it today with new eyes, Bethel Music’s King of my Heart was playing on my phone and the chorus was ringing: “You’re never gonna let me down…”
“…Let the King of my heart
Be the mountain where I run
The fountain I drink from…”
Paul was ending off chapter 11 with force… You have no clue… not a clue about who God really is and what He does for you…
From Him – comes every thing
Through Him – everything is kept going
For Him – His purposes completes it
The Passion Translation:
“For out of Him, the sustainer of everything, came everything, and now everything finds fulfilment in Him. May all praise and honor be given to Him forever! Amen!”
(Romans 11:36 TPT)
The same God that spins the planets and made the stars so that we have something to look at, at night.
The same God that is without end and creates out of nothing, with a word from His mouth.
The same God that will not let a bird fall from a tree and clothe the wild flowers in beauty and splendour…
The same God that has your name written in His hand…
… will sustain you today.
