Love So High

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)

Inasmuch as we simply cannot imagine how much higher the heavens are than the earth, we cannot imagine how much higher God’s thoughts toward us are than our thoughts toward Him. Beloved, let the truth of this verse comfort you today, not only are God’s thoughts higher than your thoughts, but also His plans, His purposes, His wisdom and His ways. Because they are God’s thoughts, they are better than our thoughts and working toward our good.

Think about it this way. God’s plans and purposes for your life are beyond what you could ever imagined them to be for yourself. They will take you to places you have never dreamed you could go because they come from the One who is in control of all things. They will often surprise you along the way and meet you in your deepest place of need. God can do this because He is God and delights in working all things together for the good of those who love Him.

Does this describe you today? Do you love your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength . . . as much as it is within your power to do so? Remember this: We love God, but His love is higher love and is able to lift us above all the waves of challenge that confront us each day. Nothing can stand in the way of the will of God and that includes His will for your life. His ways are higher. His thoughts are higher. His love is higher. Why? Because He is God, and He has a love so high for all those who are His and that includes you.

Let that truth set you free today to live out His perfect plan and purpose for your imperfect life, even when what you are currently experiencing you cannot fully understand. Isaiah tells us that we can trust our God even when we cannot trace Him because we know that we are the object of HIS LOVE SO HIGH!

This is the Gospel. This is grace for your race. NEVER FORGET THAT . . . AMEN!
