God’s Ways Are Higher
The prophet Isaiah penned words that rise above time and space. His words carved a truth that still lingers in our hearts and minds today. Isaiah 55:9 invites us to peer into the incomprehensible depths of God’s ways.
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55:9)
Imagine looking up at the sky. The vastness of the heavens stretches beyond what we can grasp. In the same way, God’s ways are far beyond our understanding. His thoughts are like galaxies, while ours are like pebbles. We try to reach for the moon, but His wisdom spans the cosmos.
Picture standing on a hill, staring at the night sky. Stars twinkle, and the moon shines. But even the vast sky can’t compare to how much higher God’s ways are. Our thoughts are like tiny stones, while His thoughts fill the universe.
God’s plans are a mystery to us, sometimes God’s actions don’t make sense to us. He did miracles like parting the Red Sea, but He also allowed suffering. Why? We can’t fully understand. His wisdom weaves a beautiful story, even through pain.
Rain falls from the sky, bringing life to the earth. Similarly, God’s Word descends to us. It doesn’t return empty; it accomplishes His purpose. His Word changes hearts, just as rain turns deserts into gardens.
Life is full of surprises—mountains and valleys. Instead of trying to figure out everything, we can trust God. Like a child resting in a parent’s arms, we find joy in surrender. The mountains sing, and our hearts echo: “His ways are higher.”
May these simple words remind us of the One whose wisdom surpasses all understanding. His ways are not our way, we do not need to understand we merely need to trust Him.
Romans 11:33: "Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!"
