For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts. – Isaiah 55: 9 (NLT)
ABOVE ALL
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you wonder how God thinks?
Are you able to find the link?
The Lord your God is above all
If you fathom much, you will fall.
Just as the heavens are higher than the earth
So is God’s ways higher than the rest
His thoughts are not your thoughts
His ways will bring clarity to the lost.

Have you ever wondered and pondered over how God thinks or why he allows things to happen in our lives beyond our understanding and control? I did for so many years of my life. I was always curious how a supreme being would think, act and decide on in comparison with an ordinary person. The question “why” is my favorite question. I will literally not stop until I get an answer. By the time I reached fifty, I still have so many unanswered questions.
The bible says that God is all-knowing and men are limited. He rises above all. He knows all and doesn’t think like a fickle man would. He is faithful and forgiving and loves immensely. I learned to stop asking questions when God told me one day in my God moments that I don’t have to know all the answers.
PRAYER
Lord, make me hungry for knowing your character.
REFLECTION
Why is over-analyzing not really a good thing to do?
