Isaiah 55:8-9

Isaiah 55:8-9. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith 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.

I think, dear friends, that not only may the unconverted pick up many crumbs of comfort as they hear about the abundant provision of divine mercy, but that the tried people of God may also be much cheered as they think upon the greatness of the Lord’s plans for them. You do not understand, tried child of God, what your Heavenly Father is doing with you. A child cannot always comprehend his father’s purposes of love; it is not needful that he should. Every father may say to his son, "My thoughts are not your thoughts;" but with what an emphasis does our Divine Father say it to us! "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts."
