'For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, declares 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.'
Isaiah 55:8-9
Big questions, now. What do you wanna do with your life? Have you some idea of what you want your future to look like? If you've ever been scared, or worried, about the future, there is one thing you've got to remember. God has a plan for your life. It's unique, it's good, and it's powerful. Every person is treasured, and God doesn't forget about anyone's future. His plan is better than anything you could ever imagine.
So maybe you have an idea of what you want to do with your future. And that's OK - it's likely that that's what God wants for you too. But we always need to know that God knows best for us. He understands us more than we understand ourselves - he formed us with his own hands before we were even born! His plan for us is infinitely better than anything we could ever possible imagine. That's what this verse says - his mind does not think like ours, and his ways are better for us than anything else.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, as we go about our day to day lives, always listen out for God to guide you along the right path. Even if you think something's gone wrong in your plan, remember that it's part of God's plan and therefore it's bound to be for a good reason. Jesus has given you so many wonderful talents and a unique personality - you might not have even discovered yet how much of an impact your life can make on others. Sometimes, we have just got to trust Him, and know that no matter what, God knows best for us and he is always right.
Prayer
Dear Lord,
Please help me to follow your plan for my life. Help me to listen to you, because your way is higher than my way, and what you do is good and right. Please cast away all my fears of the future, and fill me with the knowledge that I am in your hands, and your plan is wonderful, perfect and unique.
Amen
