This verse has been on my heart a lot lately as there is so much that I just don’t understand about this life.
I don’t understand war, sickness, hurt and pain.
My mind can’t comprehend bullies, abusers and cancer.
I don’t understand why people get sick and die when they have so much to live for.
And really, for that matter, I don’t truly understand love, acceptance, forgiveness and peace.
There is comfort in knowing that it is not up to me to understand it all because God does.
God’s thoughts are so much higher than my thoughts.
God’s ways are infinitely higher than my ways.
His ways are perfect and holy.
Mine are limited and flawed.
So, when I find myself questioning, “Why?” I turn to my God who knows why when I do not.
When I don’t have the answers I can still trust and know that He does.
And that’s more than enough for me.
God is righteous.
God is sovereign.
God is holy.
God is just.
God’s ways are higher…much higher than mine.
God’s thoughts are higher…much higher than my own.
When you find yourself not understanding, not knowing, and not having all the answers turn to the one who does.
Place your hope and your trust in God and in His perfect and holy ways that are so much higher than your own.

Beautiful – thanks for this reminder! I keep reminding myself that if this world were perfect, we wouldn’t need Jesus, or Heaven for that matter. We just need to keep leaning on Him……
Visiting you today from the HHH!

Sometimes everything is hard, but God does understand and see the big picture that we can’t see!

I love this!! There are so many things that are hard to understand, but when we turn our attention to God’s character, it brings peace.
