"As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts" Isaiah 55 :9 NIV
Have you ever just wondered at the powerful awesome grandeur of God and His thoughts and love for us, His creation, the love of His life?
Why do I say the love of His life, because in John 3:16, NIV , "For God so loved the world that he gave His one and only Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."
What does the phrase "God gave His one and only Son" mean. Precious reader it means that God allowed His one and only Son Jesus Christ, to die the most horrible, cruelest death imaginable, on the cross for US, for YOU and for ME. And what is even more wonderful, just think about this, is that Jesus Christ fully agreed to do this FOR US, YOU and ME. Jesus' death on the cross, His shedding of His precious blood for ALL MANKIND is the only way we can ever approach a God so Holy as God Almighty, the ONE and ONLY TRUE GOD.
God's greatest desire is for you and me to be in constant communion with Him through His Son Jesus Christ who gave His life for us so that we can have this unfathomable privilege. Just imagine, day and night we can approach the Throne of God, and make our needs known personally to Him by praying in the name of His only begotten Son Jesus Christ. This same Jesus Christ that freely gave His life for you and for me, so we may enjoy and savor this privilege of being in constant communication with God Almighty.
God's ways and thoughts are so much higher and greater than our ways and thoughts, but God promises in His Word, that if we pray and communicate with Him every day and read His Word every day and devote our thought life to knowing Him on a greater and higher plane, that we can know His mind and will for our life. We can know Him so intamently more than we could ever imagine could even be possible. What a precious privilege, just to be able to say, " I know and love God Almighty, and His Son Jesus Christ is my Savior because He shed every drop of His precious blood for me. I accepted this unexplainable gift of Devine Love from God to me, by accepting Jesus Christ as my Savior and the Lord of my life.
Love, in Jesus name, Gloria
