Romans 11:33-36

Posted by Dan Jarms on July 13, 2025
Wisdom in the waiting room

Main Idea: When despair rolls in start exalting God’s wisdom and stop exalting man’s.

  1. Good news: God is infinitely wiser than you (11:33)
    • Ephesians 2:4
  2. Relax: God doesn’t need your expertise. (11:34-35)
  3. Praise him—his purposes are the best (11:36)
    • 1 Corinthians 1:26-31
    • Ephesians 3:9-11

Build a praise list

  • List 10 ways you have seen God’s mercy in the past.
  • List 10 ways God has helped you in unexpected ways. 
  • Keep searching God’s treasury of wisdom the Bible for his good purposes.
