God’s Thoughts
Pastor Zubeda Sing · 1 min read
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith 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.”
There is often a vast difference between our expectations and how God arranges for things to turn out. God’s thoughts are higher than our thoughts. His actions differ totally from ours. For this reason, it is impossible for us to explain God’s actions. Unlike us, God can see the future. Often we find that the things that were most difficult to work through were used by God for our own good.
A young teenager was paralyzed by a diving accident. She writes that she shudders at the thought of what might have happened to her if the Lord had answered her desperate prayers to be able to walk again. Through her life in a wheelchair, she learned valuable lessons such as dependency on God and absolute obedience. God could use her greatly because she was bound to a wheelchair.
Perhaps there are issues in your own life that you cannot understand. Remember: God’s thoughts are higher than yours. You do not need to try to understand Him. All you need to know is that He always wants the best for you and He knows what’s best.
