The Story That Comes Full Circle | Cozy Afternoon Walk: Romans (S1), Ep.45

Welcome to Cozy Afternoon Walk — a short pause in your day to sit with Scripture, one verse at a time.Today's passage: Romans 11:34-36"Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor? Who has ever given to God, that God should repay them? For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen." (NIV)Most of us carry an invisible ledger with God — a quiet sense that our obedience should earn something back. Paul closes eleven chapters of hard teaching by tearing that ledger up, echoing two ancient questions no one has ever been able to answer. What follows isn't a rebuke — it's a doxology. Everything we could ever offer him already came from him first, which means the only honest response left is worship, not repayment. Today, take a moment to notice what you've quietly been keeping score on — and consider handing it back instead.This episode is part of our season through Romans.
