Isaiah 55:8-9 reflections

Isaiah 55:8-9 (New International Version)

 8 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
       neither are your ways my ways,"
       declares the LORD.

 9 "As the heavens are higher than the earth,
       so are my ways higher than your ways 

       and my thoughts than your thoughts.

When things seem to go out of hand and are not aligned with my plans, a person of little faith manifests as I try to comprehend why they turn that way.   As I go sulking in one corner, a resentful heart overshadows the benevolent in me.  His thoughts are not my thoughts.  His are far intelligent than mine.  At times I’m really stupid, emotional and skewed.  When not in proper frame of mind, upon impulse, I act and think harshly.  I wanted others to see the goodness of God in me.  But with the way I currently think, it is a challenge.   I should never forget that just like after the Great Flood, the earth was cultivated anew.  He has given this world a second chance, so why not turn away from the bad and do what He wills when there’s still time.  And reap the rewards of obedience and faith in the end.
