Isaiah 55:8-9
"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."
What of Today’s Verse…
No matter how we try to perceive God, he is still God and we are not. We must forever remember that the original and still primary sin was to try to become like God in terms of knowledge and understanding. We are to know God, but we can never fully know him. We are to take on his character, but we cannot approach his majesty. This is both exciting and frustrating. But the promise remains that one day we will be like him and see him as he is.
Let us Pray:
Tender Shepherd thank you for being so patient with me when I cannot fully understand or appreciate your holy and transcendent character. Thank you for sending Jesus so I can know you better and trust you to know me better than I know myself. I look forward to seeing you face to face when Jesus comes to bring me home. Until that day, please know I love you. Through Jesus I offer my thanks and praise. Amen.

Give yourself plenty to do. You get more accomplished when you attempt more. You won’t get it all done, but the more you attempt, the more you’ll accomplish.
Those moments when you are wondering "what to do next" are wasting your precious time. There are plenty of things in your life that need doing. Make a list and keep it handy. Don’t worry about getting it all done; just do one thing after another. Keep adding to your list. The list will never get done, but a lot of other things will.
You can do whatever you want. You can be whatever you want. You can have whatever you want. By doing it by being it, and by getting it. By doing what it takes. By making a list of the steps you need to get there, and then following those steps, one after another.
