My Ways—God’s Ways

Do you think like God thinks? Are your ways like God’s ways? Do you know what God knows? Do you do the things God does? Do you make decisions like God makes decision? Is God like you?

Our thinking is not like God’s thinking. What we do is not what God does. God’s thinking and God’s actions are insurmountably better than we can imagine.

God spoke through the Prophet Isaiah, saying, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55:8-9, ESV).

We can be comforted in the truth that God is infinitely more present and capable in his thinking, and more powerful and effective in his actions, than we are. God’s thoughts and actions are greater than ours. God is in control.

May we trust in God when our thoughts and abilities fail us, recognizing God is infinitely more thoughtful and capable.

A Collect for Grace: “O Lord, our heavenly Father, almighty and everlasting God, you have brought us safely to the beginning of this day: Defend us by your mighty power, that we may not fall into sin nor run into any danger; and that, guided by your Spirit, we may do what is righteous in your sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
