Verse from Isaiah

“天怎样高过地，我的道路也怎样高过你们的道路，我的意念也怎样高过你们的意念。”

以赛亚书 55:9 

"For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts than your thoughts. (Isaiah 55:9)

Many of us sometimes feel the sense of bewilderment when we consider the way God operates. We know He has said, “My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways” (Isa. 55:8). Still, there’s a part of us that feels like we should be able to understand why God allows certain things to happen. After all, we read His Word regularly and His Holy Spirit lives inside us.

When we feel entitled to understand God’s ways, we have to try to recommit ourselves to humility. Job did not get an explanation for all his heartache (Job 1:5,8). He struggled to understand, but God asked him: “Shall the one who contends with the Almighty correct Him?” (40:2). Job contritely responded, “What shall I answer You? I lay my hand over my mouth” (v.4). Job was speechless before God’s greatness.

Although God’s ways may seem to be mysterious and unfathomable at times, we can rest confidently that they are higher than our ways.

Father, 

please help me to trust You even when I don’t understand why things happen as they do. 

Please comfort my heart and remind me of Your goodness and love.

If you know that God’s hand is in everything, you can leave everything in God’s hand.
