Once again amid the doctrinal unfolding of God's Word, we encounter sudden outbursts of worship from the full hearts of his servants. The apostle Paul displays a happy knack of doing this. In Romans 1 he breaks the flow of his grim exposure of human corruption with a cry of praise to God the Creator, "who is blessed for ever" (verse 25), adding to it his own personal "Amen." Again in Chapter 9 he interrupts his discourse on Israel's historic advantages with a closely similar cry acclaiming Christ "over all, God blessed for ever. Amen."
And here at the end of Chapter 11 we find the same joyous spontaneity. Speaking of God's mercy to the Gentiles and of what their response will be, he concludes "God hath shut up all unto disobedience that he might have mercy upon all," (11:32) and logically this is followed by Chapter 12:1, "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God..." But once more Paul interrupts himself, and our text occupies the gap. He cannot suppress his feelings: "for of Him, and through Him and unto Him, are all things. To him be the glory for ever. Amen." Paul's type of interruption creates 'no problem' with God!
