Thinking Differently

 

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

(Has it occurred to me

that God thinks very differently

     about this situation?

God has far deeper purposes,

   far beyond what

           I can possibly comprehend,

   way more profound

      than I can imagine or control.

Some things I may

            not ever understand,

because God is God

                 and I am not.

God's goodness and love are

  far greater than I can grasp.)

O LORD,

We may not understand Your ways

     or what You are doing,

but we can trust You

          and be faithful.

There is more to this situation

    than we will ever be aware.

Help us to walk with You

         in it and through it.

Hold us in the palm of Your hand.

We witness Your glory

      even in the incomprehensible,

we know Your deep love

     even in the really hard stuff.

Reveal to us

              Your way in this.
