OUR FATHER WHOSE WAYS ARE HIGHER THAN OUR WAYS

Isaiah chapter 55 verse 9 says this;

“As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

This verse records the words of the Lord describing His own mode of doing things and thinking about things as being elevated above our ways and thoughts.

In context, Isaiah chapter 55 verse 7 says that the Lord invites the wicked and the unrighteous to forsake their evil ways and thoughts. He counsels them to turn to Him and declares that if they do so, he will have mercy on them and freely pardon them.

The Lord says that by showing mercy to the wicked and unrighteous and freely pardoning those who repent and turn to Him, they will be  transformed from noxious weeds and thorns into graceful and pleasant trees and be everlasting monuments to the Lord's renown as it says in Isaiah 55 verse 13.

Instead of the thornbush will grow the juniper, and instead of briers the myrtle will grow. This will be for the Lord’s renown, for an everlasting sign, that will endure forever.”

Amen.
