So many times we plan for things in our lives and we forget to ask God to direct our paths. How do we stay on track and involve God in our daily lives? One way is to pray often and asking Him directly to help us determine the best way to go, the best approach to a situation, and the best solution to a problem we may be facing. Today’s devotional from my book, Devotions for Working Women, reminds us that God’s ways are always higher than our ways. Enjoy!

God’s Thoughts and Ways Are Higher Than Ours
# 119

Isaiah 55:8-9 (KJV)
For 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.

We will never be able to understand God with our natural minds. But that’s okay. We, as believers, walk by faith having the revelation that He loves us. God’s thoughts and His ways are so much higher than ours, so much bigger and different than we could ever imagine. How can we ever think our ideas are better than His? He already thought it all out, from the beginning to the end, from the moment we were born until our last breath here on earth and then in eternity.

Purpose to live your life God’s way and not your way. Follow His plan, not your plan. Get to know Him by spending time with Him. Ask yourself these questions: Are your work and career plans aligned with God’s will for your life? Are God’s thoughts and ways reflected in your life?
