Isaiah 55:8-9 (NIV) “For 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.”
There is a real difference between the ways and the thoughts of God and those of man. His are higher—superior in every way. The Old Testament narratives point this out: marches around walled cities, a slingshot that felled a giant, a Red Sea that parted for God’s people to cross. What remarkable thing has God done in your life that left you speechless? Take a lesson. Lift your thoughts onto a higher plane. Don’t stay limited in your ideas about God’s ways—how He should act and what He should do. How easily we default to a narrow viewpoint! Open your mind. Ask God for a revelation of His bigness (Isaiah 6:1). Let Him “wow you!”
