My thoughts are not your thoughts - saith the Lord

(1/4) > >>

biblebuf:
 But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day. The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. (2 Pet. 3:8, 9 )
My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, … so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall acomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. (Isa. 55:8-11 )
For God has shut up all in disobedience so that He may show mercy to all. Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God ! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways ! (Rom. 11:32, 33 )

We can only see things now, we may be able to think what the future holds but only God does, we need to follow His will and not ours.

I agree with you totally Clark, the problem seems to be our (my) inability to listen and understand His will. I believe man's nature is to fight his calling, not totally sure rendering ourselves to Him.

clark thompson:
It is hard sometimes to now what He wants.

What does God want? Jesus explained it simply at John 17:3, (NWT) "This means everlasting life, their 'coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ'." Also, 1Tim. 2:3-5, "This is fine and acceptable in the sight of our Savior, God, whose will is that all sorts of people should be saved and come to an accurate knowledge of truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus." it seems amazing that in a world where we are told that all differences of Christian worship are acceptable to God, all bends of understanding and tradition are simply 'all roads leading to Rome', He goes out of his way to say there is an ACCURATE truth. 2Tim. 3:16 (NWT), 'All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight...'. He gives us a text book for living now and in the future.
