I sat down today in a different sanctuary spending time with God...listening to what God had to say. We all should try it more often!
Today's Scripture:
The Lord says, "My thoughts are not like your thoughts. Your ways are not like my ways. Just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts."
Isaiah 55: 8-9
The Lord says, "My thoughts are not like your thoughts. Your ways are not like my ways. Just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts."
Isaiah 55: 8-9
Experience is wonderful. Teaching your kids to ride a bike or drive a car will remind you of that fact. So will training an inexperienced new employee or the new students that are all back to classes.
Experience is a terrific tool. But no matter how much experience, knowledge, and understanding you have about life, you, and understanding you have about life, you, and all humans, still fall way short of God. He is on a plane higher than mortals can even fathom. His thoughts aren't the same as yours. Sometimes people get caught in the trap of thinking that God is like them-only smarter. But a couple verses I'd like to share with you come from Isaiah say that the best of human brains aren't even on the same playing field as God. God isn't just smarter; his thinking is beyond anything humans are capable of. If women are mentally from Venus and men are mentally from Mars, well, then God is from heaven.
For you as a man or woman, this means that when your path appears blocked, God sees a way. When you see the finite world around you and the challenges it brings, God sees beyond them. God sees far beyond your world. God is totally superior to humans. You can trust God, and you can turn to him when you need someone bigger, someone whose knowledge is all-encompassing.
God promises to come through in your life in a way that will work for you and satisfy you.
Selah people' and friends when you don't know what decision to make, when you feel stymied or oppressed, remember God. He can carve a path through that problem. Find your quiet place see where God wants you to go.
"Remember it is not our ways but God's ways that we need to strive for...it is not how sparse or lush our worship is but how deep the word gets into each of us."
