How can Romans 11:36 inspire worship and gratitude in your heart? \Setting the Verse Before Us\ “For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever! Amen.” (Romans 11:36) \Three Short Prepositions, One Grand Vision\ • From Him – God is the eternal Source • Through Him – God is the sustaining Means • To Him – God is the ultimate Goal \Why This Fuels Worship\ • God as Source: Every breath, relationship, and opportunity originates in His creative will. • God as Sustainer: He actively upholds the universe (Colossians 1:17). Our very heartbeat is evidence of His moment-by-moment care. • God as Goal: History is moving toward His glory (Revelation 4:11). Knowing the destination anchors our praise. \Stirring Gratitude in Daily Life\ • Receiving gifts openly: “Every good and perfect gift is from above” (James 1:17). Gratitude rises when we trace blessings back to their Giver. • Resting in His provision: Since all things come through Him, anxieties fade; “Cast all your anxiety on Him” (1 Peter 5:7). • Redirecting credit: Success, abilities, and resources flow from Him, so thanksgiving, not self-congratulation, becomes the reflex. \Echoes from Other Passages\ • 1 Corinthians 8:6 — “Yet for us there is but one God…from whom all things came and for whom we live.” • Acts 17:24-25 — “He Himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.” • Psalm 100:3-4 — “Know that the LORD is God…Enter His gates with thanksgiving.” • Psalm 103:2 — “Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits.” \Practical Ways to Let Romans 11:36 Shape Today\ • Begin morning praise by rehearsing the verse aloud. • Spot “from-through-to” moments: when a meal is served, when work is accomplished, when rest is enjoyed. • End the day listing three specific ways God sourced, sustained, and aimed events for His glory. • Sing doxology-rich hymns (“Praise God, from whom all blessings flow”) to align affections with truth. \Closing Thought\ Romans 11:36 gathers the entire storyline of Scripture into one sentence. Let its sweep—Source, Sustainer, Goal—turn every ordinary moment into an opportunity for worship-soaked gratitude. |
