8 “For
My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says 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.
10 “For
as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and do not return there, but
water the earth, and make it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the
sower and bread to the eater,
11 So
shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void,
but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for
which I sent it” (Isaiah 55:8-11, NKJV).
The thoughts and purposes of God are infinitely greater than our feeble intellect and reasoning capabilities. Although God has blessed human beings with great intellectual capacity, human intelligence pales in comparison to the Almighty’s knowledge and wisdom. Therefore, we must humbly accept His word and will. We ought to believe what God’s word teaches and commands without arguing with God, saying, “We would do things differently!” (“For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has become His counselor?” Rom. 11:34) Who are we to fight against God? The Lord’s word accomplishes His purposes; therefore, we trust God and follow His word. This singular truth forms the basis for who we are and how we live each day.
