The Higher Ways


Isaiah 55:9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”

It is obvious that God’s thoughts and ways are by no means equivalent to man’s. We cannot possibly fathom all that there is to know in the physical cosmos and in Heaven beyond time and space. God is infinite, eternal and spirit. How, then, can we hope to understand those things that He has communicated to us in His Word? One theologian states, to be sure, God has not told us all He knows, but what He has provided is sufficient for our faith, and He has also revealed clues as to the nature of many things we can only fully know in eternity. We know enough now to trust Him for the things we can’t comprehend or verify.

Isaiah 40:26 “Lift up your eyes on high, and see who has created these things, Who brings out their host by number; He calls them all by name, by the greatness of His might and the strength of His power; Not one is missing.”

The writer asks, “What are some of God’s favorite object lessons?” Certainly His creation is one. Almighty God, who can speak something into existence that didn’t exist before is all-powerful. But, the final great guarantee that He will work on our behalf is the fact of the resurrection.

Ephesians 1:19-21 “What is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.”


The article concludes with: Make no mistake! God is capable of solving any problem we have. And what’s more, He wants us to know it! Amen to that!
