Today's Word
Isaiah 55:8-9
““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 My ways are higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.”
Reflection
"My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways." Before something you can't understand, this verse offers not an answer but the difference of vantage. It is only natural that not everything resolves by my arithmetic.
It says His ways are as high as the heavens are above the earth. That the distance is great doesn't mean He is indifferent, but that there is a wider picture I cannot see.
In a place that frustrates because it doesn't make sense, set down the notion that you must understand everything to trust. Simply admitting there is a higher way opens room to breathe in the heart.
