GOD IDENTIFIES WITH US

Isaiah 55:8-9 NLT “My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.

I don’t know about you but I’m so thankful God doesn’t think or act like we do, otherwise we’d all be in a sorry state! It’s why it’s good to come up higher and see things from His perspective.😊

I was thinking about His plans in sending His Son into our world and how we’d probably have made sure He came into a posh palace. Instead He sent Him to grow up in a humble home, just like any one of us might have had, where there were normal struggles, where daft things happened to make them smile, and sad things came on them from time to time. 

Jesus experienced a normal life so we know He can identify with us and understand where we’re coming from in our daily ups and downs. So don’t ever think God doesn’t care or is not aware of everything that’s going on in your life. He hears every sigh, knows your fears, knows every heart beat, sees when you sit down and get up, every detail in fact, and He’s watching over you with love each moment.

Jesus went from the cradle to the Cross to give us an abundant life, so we could defeat every enemy in the power of His Holy Spirit, by His shed blood, and with the authority of His name, so we could be over-comers not victims.

So we can stand up and put our shoulders back today, knowing we are citizens of heaven, just passing through this earth for a few years and our future is glorious, beyond our imagination in the eternity to come. Our Good Shepherd is with us, leading us every step of the way, His angels are protecting us wherever we go, and Jesus Himself is interceding for us 24/7 with our Father.

And I’m here to remind us all of Isaiah 3:10 NLT Tell the godly that all will be well for them…. So let’s look above our circumstances and keep looking with great expectation to Jesus our Provider, Deliverer and Healer and give Him all the praise. Amen.😊
