“Oh, the depth of the riches and the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments and untraceable his ways!” (v. 33)

Should we make the attempt?

Should we study His Word and listen for His Spirit? Should we apply our kinds and our hearts to the exercises of theology, soteriology, and doctrine? Should we aim to understand God’s judgment, God’s mercy, and God’s gracious Gospel?

Yes.

But…

…should we also admit that the mystery of it, the power of it, and the depth of it are beyond us? Should we admit that our own capacity for comprehending His sovereign purpose for grace is extremely limited? Should we admit that He is God—and submit to Him with humility and gratitude and worship?

Also yes.
