This is a great passage from Romans. It's a doxology that Paul interjects in the middle of a passage about election and justification. It's almost as if he can't contain himself any longer and just has to break into this hymn to give praise to his God. He's writing about some things that are very difficult to understand and has to acknowledge how great God is and how far above us he is. We can look into the way he works on this earth with his people, but when it comes down to it this passage contains perhaps the most appropriate response.
Romans 11:33-36
33Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable his judgments,
and his paths beyond tracing out!
34"Who has known the mind of the Lord?
Or who has been his counselor?"
35"Who has ever given to God,
that God should repay him?"
36For from him and through him and to him are all things.
To him be the glory forever! Amen.
