"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." -Isaiah 55:8-9
As a parent I think my thoughts are higher than my children's thoughts. I have such a strong desire for them to fulfill God's purpose and plan for their lives. I am at a place in my life where I have experienced so much more than they have. I know things about life that they really do not know. I so want them to do what is right and so I tell them stories and speak to them about making wise choices. When I see them not fully reaching their potential, I press them because I know that they are capable of so much more. If you are a parent, are you connecting with what I am saying? .....wait a minute....maybe this is what God, our spiritual Father, is speaking to us. Check out the verses above one more time....Maybe I really can trust His ways...His thoughts...His plans...His desires.
