MY WAY!

Isaiah 55:7-8 says, "'For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,' says 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'" (New King James Version).  There are several insights to these verses.  Even though believers are to be conforming to Jesus Christ everyday, we are still sinners.  Since we are sinners, we do not have the mind of God completely (we are a work in progress).  God tells us bluntly that we don't think the same and we don't act the same.  He continues by telling us that His ways are "higher" than ours -that is, they are better.  If that is the case, then why do we trust our own thinking?  SELF-CENTEREDNESS.  Our society has become one that looks out for ME.  "I" obviously is the most important letter of the alphabet.  We want to be in control of our lives and we don't want ANYONE telling us what to do.  Here's the problem if you are a Christian:  you are not independent!  As believers, we are to be dependent on Him and trust His voice.  We are to be in a state of prayer constantly -before any decision, great or small.  WHY?  Because His ways are best.  And I wouldn't have it any other way!
