Thoughts
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
Do you ever wonder about God's thoughts? Do you wonder why He blesses some and not others, allows some to die and others to be healed, or is silent when you you think you need Him the most? These are thoughts that have gone through my mind over the years, and I always end up back at what this scripture says. God is on a whole different plane of existence than me, and His plans cannot be fathomed by me because of who He is. As creator and all-knowing, He can see everything and know himself why things are done certain ways. We also have to remember the free agency He has given us that can sometimes drive us away from Him. We may not choose the way we need to go, but God's plans never change, and He wants the best for us. He may allow us to suffer, he may allow some to pass on, and he may be silent, but we need to remember that His thoughts are always there, even if we don't know what they are and their impact on us. Don't waste time thinking about God's thoughts, just focus on Him and your relationship with Him, because the revelation of His thoughts are not of this world but of something greater.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
