Isaiah 55:8-9 - I Don't Know
“I don’t think the way you think.
The way you work isn’t the way I work.” God’s Decree.
“For as the sky soars high above earth,
so the way I work surpasses the way you work,
and the way I think is beyond the way you think.”
(Isaiah 55:8-9 MSG)
by Chris
The Lord is not to be figured out by man. He is not obligated to share his plans for man with man.
This is not a bad thing.
It is a promise that God will always be up to something regarding our situation that we will never understand.
Have you ever had a problem in life you tried your hardest to figure out but simply couldn’t find a solution? After explaining the problem to someone they were able to identify the answer for you.
If you’re anything like me you felt both relieved and a bit frustrated.
Relieved because what you thought was impossible to figure out on your own has now been solved. Frustrated because you spent so much time trying to rack your brain to figure it out on your own.
All you had to do was ask someone with higher knowledge. Someone with a deeper understanding of the situation.
Brothers, the person that always fits that criteria is Jesus.
As Christians we need to make a shift in our approach towards God. Instead of questioning His ways and trying to figure out what He’s up to...
...accept the fact that you will never figure Him out and it will always work out for your good.
God is not being insensitive by leaving you out of the plans for your own life, He’s giving you assurance that you don’t have to worry about it or understand it.
You just have to trust His ways.
Lets pray...
“Father thank you for knowing more than us. Help us to realize that our understanding is not a pre-requisite to our obedience to you. We are making a decisions today to trust you with our entire lives Lord. Your ways are to great for us to comprehend, and we believe the great ways you have planned for our lives will soon come to pass. Thank you for your thoughts Father. In Jesus name...
Amen ”
