June 23 Perspective Isaiah 55:8-9
Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “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)
“The way that I see it, you are wrong!” That was the beginning of a conversation with a church member, just a few days ago. “Your vision is way too small and you need to listen to me!” What was I to say? So, I remembered the scripture passage for today’s devotion and I responded, “Thank you for helping me see the way that you think I should go!” You see, our perspective is determined by our level of faith and obedience. The plans of God are far above our human concepts, yet, we can grow in our faith and our belief and continue to expand our obedience to His calling and His Word! Our perspective must be through the Eyes of Christ and the understanding that He, as his Obedient Children, will guide and direct us! “I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “Plans to prosper you and not to harm you; plans to give you hope and a future!” (Jeremiah 29:11) Stay Strong, Stay Focused…THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
