Thoughts for another day
July 1, 2010
Today's verse: Is. 55:8. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. (KJV)
(Pls. read the above before you read further. Thanks)
God is above and we are below. God is the owner of everything and we, although we think we own things, are owners of nothing. God is all Sovereign and Supreme Commander of the universe; as for us, we do not even have command over our families. God is distinct in what He does, every work of His is unique; we have to deal with only what we have and therefore, nothing that we conceive is unique - it’s basically re-cycling what God has done before.
We can only dwell in the present; we may think of the future but can never know what it holds in store and we can only muse of the past but can never change it. God dwells in all tenses at the same time. What is past for us is present before God as ‘now’ and so is the future and so is the present. Nothing is impossible for God, whereas most things are impossible for us - as an example if our character is decayed, to re-mould ourselves is literally impossible for most of us.
Our thinking is narrow and is very myopic. God is the universal thinker, He thinks about everyone and everything. What if oil exhausts beneath the surface of the earth where there’s oil? Won’t the land collapse over a period of time as more and more pressure builds from the top? I know that God thought of this before making the earth as we usually find oil in deserts and places where the earth doesn’t support vegetation. God is the Master Thinker and Maker and infinitely Majestic. Therefore, we have as our Scripture today that His thoughts are not our thoughts, nor His ways our ways. They never can be for we cannot be Him – never. But thanks be to God our Father who sent His Son who lived a kind of life that we are to emulate before God and so we can at least have the mind of Christ as Paul says, ‘for we have the mind of Christ’ 1 Cor. 2:16. And bless His Name that someday, we may be like Him and we can then say with gladness of heart, ‘Like Father, like Son!’ Amen.
