How much higher are the heavens than the earth? Through the research of astronomers, we can know the measurements between celestial bodies and the earth. While it is hard for us to fathom millions of miles and light years of time, we can begin to understand what God meant when He said, “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts” (Isa. 55:9). There is NO comparison!
Consider briefly just some of God’s thoughts/ways and how man’s (ours) are not even in the same universe: God’s plan of salvation vs. man’s…God’s pattern for His church vs. man’s…
God’s design for worship vs. man’s…God’s organization for the church vs. man’s…God’s qualifications for elders vs. man’s…God’s blueprint for marriage vs. man’s…etc.
As our thoughts and ways are not in the same ball park as God’s, let alone the same galaxy, may we submit ourselves fully to Him, His thoughts and His ways for our lives!
