Isaiah 55:8-9 For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways, says the Lord. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.
Think you know all there is to know about God? Think again, for God Himself declares in this text that His thoughts and His ways are not the same as ours, for His ways and thoughts are beyond our comprehension.
I am sure in all of our years of growing up we all have heard the old cliché “The Lord works in mysterious ways.”
This text is a reminder to all of us that our thoughts and ways are not always the thoughts and ways of the Lord our God who is “The Almighty God, The Sovereign God”.
God is infinite while we are finite. God is eternal while we are temporary.
The message of God’s kingdom, the “GOSPEL” is much different than the message of the world.
God’s message is one of “Salvation” through faith in Christ Jesus while the world message is one of “self”.
I will be the first to admit that I do not know it all. I have not yet learned it all and never will. I am Debra and not God. God is daily teaching me, as I hear Him often say “not that way Debra, this way Debra, not right now Debra, but later Debra, wait Debra, I got this Debra.”
God wants to reveal many secret things to us as His people that others have desired to know, but it requires having faith and trust in Him, recognizing that He alone is God, accepting the fact that He alone knows what is best for you and I and He alone can reveal the hidden secrets of His Word to us.
Think about this for a minute. You and I have thoughts every day. And to us, our way of thinking is perfectly clear and reasonable.
Our thoughts make sense to us. In fact, when other people don't agree with our way of thinking, we think something is wrong with them not us, don't we? LOL!
The good knew on today is that God’s Word declares that regardless of what we suffer, God is with us and that at the end of our testing period, God will indeed work all things together for our good.
There is one whose ways and thoughts are higher than yours and mine, and His name is Jesus, and He is cheering us on to the finish line.
God bless and do tell the Lord thank you for leading and guiding you into all truth and righteousness.
Debra
