A Blessing Beyond Your Mind

May your blessed mind

Be stretched taunt

And brought

To its brink

Where, instead of collapsing into confusion,

Your soul cries out with Paul:

“Oh, the depth

Of the riches

Of the wisdom and

Knowledge of God!” (Romans 11:33, ESV)

When Paul ponders

The mysteries of Providence

And God’s predestining power,

When the apostle strains to wed

The wisdom of God and the

Wonders of human will,

He cries not for confusion, but joy:

“Oh, the depth … of God.”

May you heart join the joyous cry.
