HIGHER THAN...

Things that are higher than other things are often important focal points.  For instance,  snow-capped mountains that rise above others, my tall father in a crowd when I was a small child,  lamp posts along our streets, most expensive items on grocery shelves and so on are HIGHER THAN what is around them and can guide our way.

The center on a basketball team, the quarterback stance on a football team and the pitcher’s mound of a baseball field all reflect the importance of being HIGHER THAN.  The elevated condition of these sport necessities are focal points for productive play.

Isaiah recorded these words that reflect this same concept…
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. ” 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 NIV

Jesus lived out these HIGHER THAN thoughts when he said…
“There is so much more I want to tell you, but you can’t bear it now.”  John 16:12 NLT

The immensity of God’s thoughts and intentions are truly beyond our understanding.  The importance of them to the game of life is unending.  Believing that His ways are HIGHER THAN ours requires living in surrender to His all-knowing plan.  

PRAYER:  Thank you for guiding my way, Lord.  Your thoughts are HIGHER THAN any other and in you I fully put my trust. As I walk this earth, I choose to look up into your all-knowing and ever-present face for direction. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
