"For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,"
declares the LORD.
9 "As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah55:8-9
We don't always understand God's working in our lives and in our world. There are times that life doesn't make sense.
But our God is not a tame or a safe God.
We can't know everything about Him - He's too big.
We don't understand all of His ways - They are higher than ours.
I can't put God in a box - He's bigger than any box I can make.
I can't conceptualise all of God - He's the ultimate mystery.
So when life's mystery puzzles me - I hold on to MYSTERY.
I hold on to God!
The band Newsboys sing about this:
"Lord (I Don't Know)"
(Hear it at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11i4YfNHu98 )
You are the author of knowledge
You can redeem what's been done
You hold the present and all that's to come
Until your everlasting kingdom
Lord, I don't know where all this is going
Or how it all works out
Lead me to peace that is past understanding
A peace beyond all doubt
You are the God of tomorrow
Turning the darkness to dawn
Lifting the hopeless with hope to go on
You are the rock of all salvation
Lord, I don't know where all this is going
Or how it all works out
Lead me to peace that is past understanding
A peace beyond all doubt
Oh, Lord, you are the author
Redeeming what's been done
You hold us in the present
And all that is to come
Lord, we don't know where all this is going
Or how it all works out
Lead us to peace that is past understanding
A peace beyond all doubt
