God's and my Ways


God’s ways are higher than my ways

It is so easy to go my own way! It’s so easy just to do whatever I want! It doesn’t take a lot for me to walk out of my door in the morning and just go my own way. I am sure we all have that sometimes. But we got to remember that his ways are so much better. I feel like if I want to go my own way I can hear God calling my name. It’s like he is gently taking my hand and telling me: “I know you would love to go in that direction now, but trust me, my direction will satisfy you way more than you could ever imagine.”
“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29.11
I am so thankful that God helps me to choose him over and over again. I know I would fail without him. All the things that this world offers me look at some days so tempting, even if I know already the painful outcome.
I feel like I want to take over control in my life but God reminds me that his love for me is so big that he would never give me something that would suck. I want to let go and give him the control. Why should I choose my own way, when God’s ways are so much higher and better!
“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.” Isaiah 55.8,9
I decide to choose God’s ways, even if it’s hard sometimes. Even if it takes a lot of hard work, self-control, sacrifices and patience. I’ll do what he wants me to do. I know it deep in my heart that his way is the right way. Because HE is the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE right=)=)
His ways are full of excitement, adventure, fun and SATISFACTION!
Isn’t it crazy that we mess up so many times because we feel like the plans we have for our life are much better than the plan God has for us?! So many times I had my own plan and it was painful. So this time I will walk in God’s footsteps. I will trust him and listen to his still small voice. I will choose HIS way because I belong to HIM!!
