I was reminded again this week of a wonderful promise of God and how I am often blind to the ways of our Father. When things don't seem to be working out as I think they should, I am easily tempted to feel frustrated and disillusioned. However, God has already given us these words as wise guidance:
8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord
9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts." (Isaiah 55:8-9)
Here is another way of putting this same truth.
“I don’t think the way you think.
The way you work isn’t the way I work.”
God’s Decree.
“For as the sky soars high above earth,
so the way I work surpasses the way you work,
and the way I think is beyond the way you think. (Eugene Peterson)
My humble advice to us all is to rather trust in God's ways - they are better than our own.
Living in Grace
