A Higher Trust

A Higher Trust…

Good morning!

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

Have you ever found yourself at a loss, unable to understand why certain things happen in your life? In those moments of confusion and doubt, Isaiah 55:9 offers a perspective-shifting truth.

The vastness of the heavens above us is but a whisper of the immensity of God’s wisdom. His ways, His thoughts, His plans – they are not just different from ours, but infinitely higher.

It’s a humbling realization, one that challenges our desire for control and comprehension. But it’s also an immensely comforting truth. Because if God’s ways are higher than ours, then we can trust that even in the midst of our darkest valleys and deepest questions, He is working out a plan that is beyond our wildest imagination.

This doesn’t mean we will always understand. It doesn’t erase the pain of the present or the uncertainty of the future. But it invites us to lean into the character of God, to trust that the One who holds the stars is holding our lives too.

So when life doesn’t make sense, when our ways seem blocked and our thoughts are clouded, let’s choose to look up. Let’s fix our eyes on the God whose ways are perfect, whose thoughts are infinite, and whose love for us knows no bounds. In Him, we find the peace and perspective our souls crave.

Today, let’s be inspired by the profound truth in Isaiah 55:9, reminding us of the greatness of God’s plans compared to our own.

But blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit. Jeremiah 17:7-8

Heavenly Father, life can be so confusing, and often, I feel lost in a sea of doubts and questions. It’s humbling to realize that I don’t have all the answers, but it’s also comforting to know that You do. Your ways are higher than mine, Your thoughts far beyond my understanding. Forgive me for trying to figure everything out on my own. Help me to trust in Your wisdom, even when the path ahead is unclear. You hold the stars in place, and You hold me in Your loving hands. Fill my heart with peace, knowing that Your plans for me are good. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

God is too good to be unkind, and He is too wise to be mistaken. And when we can not trace His hand, we must trust His heart.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed 🙏🏼
