Right Thinking

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.  – Isaiah 55:8
 
God’s will does not always make sense.  This may be because we factor in our own understanding.  If left to our own understanding, we would be miserable.  There is a greater pool of knowledge reserved for us in Christ.  Do not underestimate its value and availability.  It is valuable because of the divine direction that can save us from running down paths that waste our time and the time of others.  God’s way may not make sense now, but it will later.  His thoughts and ways are easily accessible by faith.
