Are you trying to figure God out ?

“My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “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 New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
No matter how hard we try to perceive God and perceive what He has for us, He is still God and we are not. We must forever remember that the original, and still primary sin was to try to become God through rebellion & disobedience. Lucifer (now known as Satan, Lucifer is not and does not refer to the Devil or Satan, it refers to a beautiful Archangel before he rebelled!) thought that he had become as God and was greater than his Creator. We must never become like that. We are to submit to His will for our lives and do it His way. We are to know God, but we can never fully know all of His thoughts or become what He is. We are to take on His character and His image, but we cannot become Him. God knows the ‘Big’ picture for us, we only know in part as He allows us to see. This is both exciting and frustrating. But the promise remains that one day we will see Him as He is.
Quit trying to figure out God and just remember, He is God!

MY PRAYER…
Most loving Father, thank You for being so patient with me when I cannot fully understand and appreciate Your Holy character. Thank You for sending Jesus so I can know You better and trust You to know me better than I know myself. Thank You Father for allowing me to come boldly into Your presence and into Your throne room. Father, continue to reveal Your thoughts to me as I go through life, that I may know Your perfect will for my life. Through Jesus, my Lord and Saviour, I offer my thanks and praise.
Amen
