Nor are your ways My ways,\u201d says the LORD.\u201d For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts. <strong>Isaiah 55:8-9<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ever notice how large your view becomes when you are aboard an airplane? That\u2019s because the higher up we get the more detail we see of the landscape. The higher we go the bigger the picture and the view we have. There is great comfort when you remind yourself this is how the Father sees. He is the Almighty God and even when you cannot make sense of it, God is sitting high up knowing this will all work itself out. So do not limit God, don\u2019t put Him in a box confining Him to the ways of man. No, God is so much bigger than what we can even begin to imagine. Allow Him to be the God of all circumstances and allow His perspective to be in control of your life.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps today you are dealing with anxious thoughts of worry, fear or panic. These thoughts lead to thinking with feelings of isolation, resentment, depression. But you don\u2019t have to feel this way. Today\u2019s Scripture clearly says that God\u2019s ways are higher than ours. This means He does not think the way we do.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s when we go higher than our circumstances do we begin to trust in His ways and thoughts. Go above the clouds of today to see things in a much clearer way. Although you may not fully understand what He is doing in your life, or how it will work out, seeing a little from His perspective enables you to trust in the Lord, hold on just a little bit longer because there is a bigger picture.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prayer for today<\/strong>:<em> Heavenly Father, help me not to fear the future but to boldly trust that You are in control. When I think it&#8217;s out of control, it&#8217;s all under Your control. Help me to believe. Amen.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wednesday, June 9 A Different View \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 For My thoughts are not your thoughts.
