(Psalm 92:5)…..O Lord, how great are Your works! Your thoughts are very deep.
(Isaiah 55:8-9)…..“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” says 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. God does not always do what we think He should, and I am grateful for that.
- I think – “if the Lord would only heal him he would believe
- I think – “If the Lord would only save him
- I think – “Why does God allow the ungodly to prosper?
- I think – “Why do they have to suffer?
- Yet His thoughts are not our thoughts
- Read: (Romans 11:33-34)
There are those who insist on doing it their way, and if God doesn’t do it just the way they want it done they quit. But our ways are not His ways. How much higher are the heavens than the earth? Infinitely higher. So are God’s thoughts and ways infinitely higher than ours. I am ok with that, are you? We have a limited knowledge of the facts, and we have no certain knowledge of our immediate future.
GOD’S THOUGHTS ARE PURE – OURS’ ARE IMPURE…….GOD’S THOUGHTS ARE RIGHTEOUS – OURS’ ARE UNRIGHTEOUS…….GOD’S THOUGHTS ARE PERFECT – OURS’ ARE IMPERFECT…….GOD’S THOUGHTS ARE HOLY – OURS’ ARE UNHOLY…….GOD’S THOUGHTS ARE ETERNAL – OURS’ ARE TEMPORAL…….GOD’S THOUGHTS ARE HEAVENLY – OURS’ ARE EARTHLY
You see, God knows things we do not know, God sees things we do not see, and God understands things we do not understand. And therefore as high as the heavens are above the earth so high are HIS thoughts above our thoughts. But not only are GOD’S THOUGHTS NOT OUR THOUGHTS……… some Christians don’t realize what God’s thoughts are of them. What does God think of you? What do the Scriptures tell us? Read: (Psalm 40:5) (Psalm 139:17-18) (Jeremiah 29:11) (Matthew 10:29-31). Notice – (Psalm 92:6) – The senseless man does not know these things about God – and a fool doesn’t understand. Know and understand what? That God is worthy of praise because He has done great works and His thoughts are deeper than ours. Do you feel special? Soak it in and think about His love for you!
