God's Ways Are Higher Than Our Ways

 Isaiah 55:9 (ASV) 
"For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts."

So many times a lot of us feel that we can predict God's ways, thoughts, judgments, plans, dealings, feelings and actions. But, no we can't. No matter how hard we try to predict the way and manner which God respond to situations around, we'll always end up in failure. Cos God is too big for anyone to analyze, and predict. The Pharisees, and many Jews in the Bible where limited by their little knowledge. They thought that maybe Christ would be born in one of their synagogues, or in the palace. Their theology and ideology held them bound in their own little way of thinking, but didn't know that God works in mysterious ways. This was why they did not know their own time of visitation. (Matthew 2, Luke 19:44).
Our ways are not God's ways, and our thoughts are not He's.

I met a friend some years ago on Facebook who was arguing with some Muslim sect about the existence of God. The fellow was completely ignorant about God. Judging from the way he spake, he was an atheist. Although he denied that he wasn't an atheist.
He was telling them that there is no God, thus asking if there is a God, who created God? They kept arguing. I had to hold my peace because the fellow was completely ignorant, and he was so adamant to accept the truth.
His little mind obscured him from knowing the fact that God is self-existence. But I pray that God will open his eyes to know the truth, cos whether he believes or not, God was, and He is still God.

Sometimes when we feel sick and down-trodden, our little mind tells us that God doesn't care, and that He isn't there for us or maybe there isn't a God at all. That's a lie from the devil. God is always there for us. He cares so much for us.
Don't allow your little thoughts to limit God. God is far bigger and higher than your thoughts.
Always know that God cares, He hears, and He's right there for you.
