VERSE:

VERSE:
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.
-- Isaiah 55:8-9

THOUGHT:
No matter how hard we try to perceive the awesomeness of God, he
is still God and we are not. We must forever remember that the
original, and still primary, sin was to try to become like God in
terms of knowledge and understanding. We are to know God, but we
can never fully know everything about him. We are to take on his
character, but we cannot approach his majesty, righteousness, or
holiness on our own. This is both exciting and frustrating. But,
the promise remains that one day we will be like him and see him as
he is (1 John 3:1-3) and know fully even as we are fully known (1
Corinthians 13:11-12).

PRAYER:
Tender Shepherd, thank you for being so patient with me when I
cannot fully understand and appreciate your holy and transcendent
character. Thank you for sending Jesus so I can know you better and
trust you to know me better than I know myself. I look forward to
seeing you face to face when Jesus comes to bring me home. Until
that day, please know I love you. In the name of Jesus I offer my
thanks and praise. Amen.
