Isaiah 55:8-9
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Our kids are still young, but I already dread the teenage years. It won’t be easy to lead them when they are only sure of one thing: They know more than their parents. While there is a moment when teenagers come back around and gain a small amount of humility in dealing with mom and dad, most people struggle to have that humility toward God. We are extremely quick to call Him a tyrant, cold, or even to insist He can’t exist.
We need a reality check. God’s ways are infinitely higher than our ways. We should fall on our knees in gratitude that we don’t understand everything He does. If we could, it would mean He is no greater, wiser, or smarter than we are. When I look at the mess we’ve made fo the world, I thank God that His ways are higher than ours.
Prayer prompt: Lord, I submit my will to Yours knowing You know better than me.
