Scripture

“My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord. “and my ways are far beyond anything you can imagine. Just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways, and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.”

Observation

Is anyone thirsty? Come and drink the finest wine or milk. in God’s Kingdom, it’s all free. Listening to the Lord is like feasting on the best food.

As we listen to the Lord, he transforms us. He gives us authority to command other people and He shares His glory with us.

Seek the Lord while he is near. Those who are wicked should repent while there is time.

The Lord’s ways are nothing like the ways of people. His thoughts are higher than our thoughts.

Application

Could we imagine that the God who is high and lifted up would become a human being? Could we think that this God who is so holy and righteous would die on a cross to bring us back to Him?

Gods ways are beyond our ability to imagine. He is consumed by love for us and would do anything to win us back to Himself.

We try to what God might do. We place limits on Him, assuming that He thinks like we do.

Gods ways are infinitely higher than our ways.

This is why it is never good to”pray answers”, that is to tell God how to sort things out. No, He can always bring about answers to prayers that we could not imagine.

Prayer

Thank you Lord that your ways are so much higher than my ways. Please help me to trust you in all things. Amen.
