The Sea and The Pond

"'My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,' says the LORD.

'And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.

For just as the heavens are higher than the earth,

so my ways are higher than your ways

and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.'"

Isaiah 55:8–9

In this morning's devotional passage, I am reminded that God's thoughts and ways are higher and better than anyone could ever imagine.  He is holy, holy, holy!  He is infinite while we are finite!  He is eternally focused while we are immediately focused!

Sometimes, I think we can become so fixated on our own lives that we completely miss the point.  We are like a child at the ocean - so preoccupied with the little pond we've made in the sand that we completely miss the immense beauty and awesome power of the sea right in front of us.

I don't want to miss out on God today because I'm so busy playing in the little pond that I've made!  So I'm going to pause today, quit focusing on my little pond, and gaze up in awesome wonder at the beauty and power of the One who made the seas!  In fact, I think I'm going to dive in, take a swim, immersing myself in Him today.

How about you?

Grace and peace!

In His Love, Cathy
