Bible Text
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For 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 (ESV)
Reflection
So many “bad” things are going on around the world right now – wars, hurricanes, shootings – to mention a few. I wonder, why is God letting all this go on. Then I was led to this passage in Isaiah that I had written down at onetime. I read it in a couple different versions and was once again slapped upside my head. I cannot begin to fathom God’s thoughts and ways. I must put my faith and trust in God that all this is part of His plan, and I don’t need to understand because He is in control, not me.
Prayer
Almighty God, you are in control. Forgive me for questioning your thoughts and ways. Your will be done. In Jesus’s name, Amen.
Tim E.
