“For
my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways says the Lord.”
Isaiah 55:8
What is God thinking!? Mankind often
asks that question. “If I were God, I would do things right.” Too many people have that wrong assumption. “Why
doesn’t God just end all the wickedness?” That is also a commonly asked
question. The answer God gives is “My thoughts are not your thoughts.” If He
were to tell us what’s going on, we wouldn’t understand anyway. God adds to
today’s verse by saying, “My thoughts are higher than your thoughts.”
Job tried to argue with God and question what He was doing. God’s
reply was simple. “Were you there when I formed the earth and sky? Can you
control the motion of the stars and rule over the mighty beasts of the earth?
Do you know the thoughts and heart of men?” Job admitted his deficiency in all
these areas and so must we. So, what is God doing? We can’t know it all. What
we can know is that He is good and have faith in Him.
Dear
Father, You alone are wise. Increase our faith. Amen.
