#soap # Romans 11 ## Title: This is God’s Show ## Scripture: (Romans 11:36) “For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever! Amen.” (NET) ## Observation: I remember when my daughters were little and we would have guests come to our home. The girls would get so excited. They thought every guest came to see their room, watch them play, and be entertained by them. When we would eventually have to tell them to leave our guests in peace, they would get upset. They couldn’t understand because at that age, their world revolves around them. They only see through the eyes of their own self-interest. That’s the same with most kids. As we age, we begin to see the world differently. As our perspective grows, so does the world. God’s Word and God’s world are a lot like that. When we see these things with *us* as the center of the universe, things are small. When we see the world with God as the center of it all, it never stops growing. ## Application: Let God run His show and look on with wonder. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for Your patience with us.
