Isaiah 55:8-9—For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are
your ways my ways, says 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.
We live in a world in which evil, injustice, and tragedy
exist, and God does not always prevent us from experiencing negative
circumstances. His promise is not that
we will never pass through difficulty; in fact, adversity is often the time
when we lean in closest to Him and grow spiritually. But knowing this does not necessarily make it
easy to live in difficult times. It’s
normal to cry out for answers, to sob in our grief, and to feel broken in our
humanity. During these times, we should
lean into God and trust His infinite wisdom.
He sees us so very differently than we are capable of seeing
ourselves. We can’t even begin to
imagine how he weaves together the moments of our lives for His glory.
Today as you pray and meditate on this Scripture, pray for a
blanket of peace to descend upon you, your neighbors, and your city. Praise God for His knowing ways and ask Him
to reveal Himself to those who are suffering right now that they would be
comforted by His presence. Be faithful
and profess your trust in God’s ways.
Pray that He would use you to bring comfort to others in their times of
need.
