His Way is the High Way

 

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

What in the world

          was God thinking?

We may not ever understand

  but we can trust Him.

His ways are stretched

   across all eternity,

      and far beyond our

              limited skill set.

God is God,

           and we are not.

God aligns our hearts with His. 

O LORD,

When we cannot understand,

we can know that You do.

You complete a mighty work

   more than we can know

and far more than we

can even know what to pray for.

Help us to trust You

   and stake our hope in You,

in Your will and in all Your ways.

Show us a different way in this

   for Your glory

and for Your goodness sake.

     Even today.

     Even in the hard stuff.

You know.

You hear.

You are forming something new.
