A doxology is, literally, a glory-word, a word or saying attributing glory to someone or something. While there\u2019s nothing wrong with planning and preparing for a doxology, they are usually spontaneous and impulsive. Thus, a doxology is a spontaneous attributing of glory to God for something glorious He\u2019s done. Take, for instance, Paul\u2019s doxology at the end of Romans 11<\/a>. In conclusion to what he\u2019s just revealed in 9\u201311<\/a> (and 1\u20138<\/a>!), Paul pauses and erupts in praise to God for the \u201cunsearchable\u201d and \u201cunfathomable\u201d ways He is working out His salvific purposes. Let\u2019s look at how pastor Charles Swindoll unpacks these verses in Swindoll\u2019s Living Insights New Testament Commentary<\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Romans 11:33<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Oh, the depth of the riches, both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Reflecting on the unsearchable mercy of God prompted Paul to break forth in a doxology. Such inexplicable grace can only come from a God of infinitely deep goodness. To praise his Creator, Paul searched his extensive vocabulary to find the right words. It was as if he were stringing verbal pearls onto a magnificent necklace of praise, selecting each one ever so carefully:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bathos<\/em> (\u03b2\u03ac\u03b8\u03bf\u03c2) means \u201cdepth.\u201d For the first century traveler, nothing was more powerful and profound than the sea. Its depths were dark and mysterious, defying any to know its secrets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ploutos<\/em> (\u03c0\u03bb\u03bf\u1fe6\u03c4\u03bf\u03c2) means \u201cwealth.\u201d Loosely based on the verb \u201cto flow\u201d the basic sense is \u201cspilling over with goodness.\u201d The wealth can be physical, spiritual, or moral. Of course, in reference to God, it is all three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sophia<\/em> (\u03c3\u03bf\u03c6\u03af\u03b1, \u201cwisdom\u201d) and gn\u014dsis<\/em> (\u03b3\u03bd\u1ff6\u03c3\u03b9\u03c2, \u201cknowledge\u201d) represent the sum total of all there is to think. They speak of God\u2019s knowledge of all things and His ability to perfectly order all events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anexeraun\u0113tos<\/em> (\u1f00\u03bd\u03b5\u03be\u03b5\u03c1\u03b5\u03cd\u03bd\u03b7\u03c4\u03bf\u03c2) means \u201cunsearchable.\u201d The root word is a verb meaning \u201cto track,\u201d in the sense of hunting down an animal by following its trail. The Lord\u2019s judgment cannot be traced through human logic. It is beyond our ability to comprehend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anexichniastos<\/em> (\u1f00\u03bd\u03b5\u03be\u03b9\u03c7\u03bd\u03af\u03b1\u03c3\u03c4\u03bf\u03c2) is virtually identical in meaning to the previous term but is found nowhere outside the Bible and Bible-related literature. Many translations render the term \u201cunfathomable,\u201d both for style and to reflect Paul\u2019s original \u201cdepth\u201d theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Romans 11:34\u201335<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, OR WHO BECAME HIS COUNSELOR? Or WHO HAS FIRST GIVEN TO HIM, THAT IT WOULD BE PAID BACK TO HIM?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Paul reinforced his worship by alluding to two passages from the Old Testament. The first comes from Isaiah 40:13<\/a>, a curiously appropriate selection. In the words of one commentator, \u201cIn chapters 1\u201339 [of Isaiah] judgment on sin is stressed; in chapters 40\u201366 atonement for that sin and the resulting change in people and the world system are discussed.\u201d Isaiah marked the shift of emphasis from humanity\u2019s sin to God\u2019s inexplicable grace by celebrating His sovereignty and wisdom, which Paul paraphrased in his doxology, \u201cWho has known the mind of the Lord, or who became His counselor?\u201d (Rom. 11:34<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second passage (11:35<\/a>) is an allusion to Job 41:11<\/a>, in which the Lord challenged the bewildered and suffering patriarch, \u201cWho has given to Me that I should repay him? Whatever is under the whole heaven is Mine.\u201d This divine challenge came at the end of a long quest for answers by Job and his friends, a journey that called into question God\u2019s integrity, wisdom, and goodness. Then, just like now, they faced tragedy with a singular question on their lips: Why? And for months, the man\u2019s so-called friends speculated about God\u2019s nature and spun a tangled web of vain theologies. Job\u2019s wife counseled him to forsake life and end his own misery. Eventually, the man was brought to his end and strongly demanded his day in court, where he felt sure he would be vindicated and the Lord caught short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Job\u2019s Doxological Response<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After a long time\u2014we don\u2019t know how long\u2014the Lord broke the silence as He confronted the man who was \u201cblameless, upright, fearing God and turning away from evil\u201d (Job 1:1<\/a>). However, He didn\u2019t come with answers. Job never learned of Satan\u2019s challenge in heaven. Job never received an explanation. He was never presented with a logical list of reasons his tragedy was ultimately a part of God\u2019s good plan for him and everyone affected. Instead, he encountered God Himself\u2014and this met his need. Seeing God\u2019s unsearchable mercy and gazing into His unfathomable ways ended the man\u2019s desperate quest for answers. He put his hand over his mouth and repented of his foolish outbursts. And, at that point, he worshipped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul\u2019s Doxological Response<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Paul could identify with Job. The apostle did his very best to reveal the plans of God and to explain His methods as the Holy Spirit supernaturally directed him. Eventually, however, his efforts to explain things that exceed the limitations of human ability dissolved into silence. And he stood silent before the magnificence of God and marveled at the sophistication of His ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I reflect on Paul\u2019s doxology, it occurs to me that the only words even remotely suitable to describe God are \u201cun-\u201d words. \u201cUnsearchable.\u201d \u201cUnfathomable.\u201d Words that highlight His utter \u201cotherness.\u201d A. W. Tozer\u2019s thoughts are especially helpful here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To say that God is infinite is to say that He is measureless. Measurement is the way created things have of accounting for themselves. It describes limitations, imperfections, and cannot apply to God. Weight describes the gravitational pull of the earth upon material bodies; distance describes intervals between bodies in space; length means extension in space, and there are other familiar measurements such as those for liquid, and energy, and sound, and light, and numbers for pluralities. We also try to measure abstract qualities, and speak of great or little faith, high or low intelligence, large or meager talents.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Is it not plain that all this does not and cannot apply to God? It is the way we see the works of His hands, but not the way we see Him. He is above all this, outside of it, beyond it. Our concepts of measurement embrace mountains and men, atoms and stars, gravity, energy, numbers, speed, but never God . . . Nothing in God is less or more, or large or small. He is what He is in Himself, without qualifying thought or word. He is simply God.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Romans 11:36<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For from Him, and through Him, and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Having exhausted all thought and having considered all rational explanations on the topic of God\u2019s plan for the Jews, Paul\u2019s journey ends the doxology with the Beginning:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Him:<\/strong> God is the source of all that exists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through Him:<\/strong> God sustains all things and gives everything purpose and movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To Him:<\/strong> God is the purpose for which all things exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All things:<\/strong> Think of it! That includes your current situation. That includes what you cannot figure out. That includes your loss of employment. That includes your promotion. That includes the blessing of your family. That includes the loss of your precious loved one. That includes the bewildering test you\u2019re enduring. That includes whatever situation you happen to be in right now, regardless of how painful or how pleasant it might be. All things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responding Doxologically in All of Life<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

God does not conceal Himself. Nor does He hide His will. If we do not see, it is because we are looking for something He is not. If we do not understand, it is because we have expectations He chooses not to fulfill. But those limitations are ours, not His.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul revealed to us everything God revealed to him. We have no reason to suspect he held anything back. Nevertheless, many questions go unanswered. How is God\u2019s kingdom already here, but not yet fully? Why does He allow evil to continue while His elect suffer dreadful and cruel persecution? At what point in the future will He fulfill all of His covenant promises to Israel? How does someone rejoice in his or her affliction? On and on . . . Like you, I have a list of questions I would like to ask the Lord when I get to heaven. But then, like Job and Paul, I suspect it won\u2019t mean very much when I see Him. At that time, it will all make sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So why worry over my list of unanswerable questions? Why not worship Him here and now, on this side of eternity, and let His unsearchable mercy, His unfathomable wisdom, and His unmatched character be enough? Is this not a reasonable sacrifice, considering that He is God and I am not?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
