How Much Higher Are God’s Thoughts Than Ours?
“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 55:8-9
I have a very expensive, sophisticated camera. The manual is over 1,000 pages.
I am lucky if I know the basics for a simple photo. (Why I have this camera is a separate conversation.) In other words, the camera’s thoughts are vastly higher than what my mind can comprehend. And this is only a camera.
We lose site of the distance between God and ourselves. It is beyond comprehension. So, let’s just give God credit for something we can’t understand—beyond understanding—and let God be God and we be His humble, awe-struck, and obedient servants.
Your Grandpa Loves You
My friend, Sebastian, writes a daily blog to his 7 grandchildren. He has been doing this for years without interruption. With profound clarity and simplicity, Sebastian applies Holy Scripture in a way that makes sense to his grandchildren. He has allowed me to share his writings, below.
“All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
(Romans 3:23)
Don’t ever feel you have to be perfect. As humans we are prone to human frailties. God knows we are sinners and imperfect. He also knows it’s impossible to give Him all the glory He deserves. All He expects of us is to know His Omnipotent Power, do our best to live by His Commandments, repent for our sins and love Him with all our heart and soul. Being the best person we can be and serving Him every day is how we say thank you to God.
Your grandpa loves you.
