152

The future is inevitable. It will happen. What is crazy it knowing that the things I want to happen will probably not happen because of:


 Isaiah 55:9
“As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

God just said as loud as he could that his thoughts are much better. It's like comparing your miles to another person that just ran the same distance.  Except, they ran faster than you. Yes, God is competing with us to win our affection for the thoughts he thinks about our future. We humans love to revel in doubt and fear regarding our future...why? I think it is the normal sometimes. To wonder to the point of stressing out about where you will be, what you will be doing. Now, God has captured our attention. We know his ways are higher and much better than ours, so let's accept it. We know he loves us, he provides for us, he leads us, he comforts us, he's given us the Holy Spirit. Exodus 15:13 explains it all...first his love is unfailing. Oh, we could stop there and talk about how conditional we love, but we won't....again his love will not ever quit, it will continue. This does give us assurance that he has to lead us and love us while we make stupid mistakes and turn wrong turns. He is incredible. I'm ready to accept those higher and better ideas and ways that he has offered me.
