God's Way Vs Our Way

Isaiah 55: 8-11 (The Message)

"I don't think the way you think. The way you work isn't the way I work." God's Decree.
"For as the sky soars high above earth, so the way I work surpasses the way you work, and the way I think is beyond the way you think. Just as rain and snow descend from the skies and don't go back until they've watered the earth, Doing their work of making things grow and blossom, producing seed for farmers and food for the hungry, So will the words that come out of my mouth not come back empty-handed. They'll do the work I sent them to do, they'll complete the assignment I gave them

How comforting are the words we read above! How often do we wish we had all the answers and get frustrated when we can't find them? We don't have to understand everything or are even expected to! The Creator of this universe, the same Creator who created us, knows what He is doing! He placed you and I where we are right now as part of His great plan for our lives. He places EVERY situation and person in our life for a reason.

From a very age, I have had to learn to accept the way God made me. I had to accept the fact that I would always be short and not like the other girls. I had to accept things no little girl should ever have to accept or deal with the feelings that I had and that caused me to grow up very quickly. In order for me to have peace and be able to cope with the cards dealt to me I had to accept the way God made me where I liked it or not. I am pleased to say that I now accept the way God made. Would I change things about me and my condition, Turner Syndrome, if I could? I would in a heartbeat but I found peace through Jesus Christ and His love for me.

I am currently learning that God's ways are higher then my ways and He know me better then I even know myself. While I may not always get what I want, I always get what I need, when I need it! God me me, I am His child. He will take me wherever I go and whatever I do. He will never let me out of sight.

No matter what is going in your life, remember God know what He is doing. We may not have the answers but God does. While His way is not always what we want, His way is best, and is always done with love. He always does what is best for us no matter who we are or where we are. Listen to God, spend time with Him. Let Him teach things to you and let Him show you what can be and who you can become.

God will reveal himself to you once you completely surrender yourself to His will. Once you place your total trust in Him, he will show you things, you never knew and give you abounding joy! So my question is are you ready to live God's way and live in total abandon to Him? After all, didn't He live in total abandon for you and the rest of man-kind?

Isaiah: 40:27- 29 (The Message)

Why would you ever complain, O Jacob, or, whine, Israel, saying,"God has lost track of me. He doesn't care what happens to me"?Don't you know anything? Haven't you been listening?God doesn't come and go. God lasts. He's Creator of all you can see or imagine.He doesn't get tired out, doesn't pause to catch his breath. And he knows everything, inside and out.
