Isaiah 55:8a “My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the LORD….
I am terribly guilty for limiting God with my imagination. I think I know how something should be, should turn out, and all the while, God’s plan is so much bigger, so much greater, than I can even fathom.
Isaiah 55:8 b …“And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.
It’s no surprise that trust is the root of the issue here. And it feels frustrating and ridiculous that I struggle so to trust God, though I know that this struggle is part of being human. And honestly, I do trust Him, truly, but my fear–of the unknown, of what might be, of what won’t be– can become so great, so all-consuming that it becomes a living thing that overshadows God’s grace.
Isaiah 55:9a For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways….
Lord, I believe that You are God of all creation. I believe that Your ways are far beyond anything I can imagine. I trust that You have a better plan than I could ever fathom. I do trust, You, Lord. Truly, I do. I believe; help my unbelief (Mark 9:24). Amen.
Isaiah 55:9b …and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.
Have a blessed day.
