Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD.

When I study scripture, only then do I begin to understand that I can not see from the height of Almighty God, neither do I embrace wisdom from as near as His Spirit to my soul.

Before I read scripture regularly, I thought from my low and distant mind that I did not need to know anything of what the Lord has purposed for me. What do we care of what God would have for us if we fail to read God’s word?

God IS beyond our flesh — beyond our mind — above the earth and above the heavens.  God IS (if we will allow Him) within our being — within our purpose — wed to our soul in loving intimacy.

The Prophet Isaiah speaks from God’s heart to you and me. Consider the implication of more of Isaiah’s charge to us:

Isaiah 55:6 “Seek the Lord while he may be found;
call upon him while he is near;
7 let the wicked forsake his way,
and the unrighteous man his thoughts;
let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him,
and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, declares 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.

Do you read the Bible?  Do you pray?

Are your ways lived in the glory of the thoughts of the LORD?
