Seeking His Thoughts and Ways

“My thoughts,” says the Lord, “are not like yours, and my ways are different from yours. As high as the heavens are above the earth, so high are my ways and thoughts above yours. Isaiah 55:8-9

Again, the theme thoughts I feel like I’m blind to the area that my mind needs to be renewed in. I don’t feel like I’m in denial, I am certain I have thoughts that are so deeply ingrained I don’t recognize them. I know my thoughts aren’t perfect. I know there are areas that I need to be renewed, but there is a block in the identifying them despite repeated efforts. What I can gain from this repeated exploration is that I need to continually renew my thoughts to bring them into the obedience of the word. I have the mind of Christ and I can trust Holy Spirit’s ideas because God’s thoughts are bigger than mine.

I need to stop relying on myself and seek God’s thoughts on all areas that are important in my life. I’m not sure why I have wanted to do it any differently, since his ways and thoughts are so much higher than mine. But I know that I have.

Prayer – Lord I ask that you begin to reveal any ingrained thoughts that limit my trust in you. I want to renew my mind to seek your thoughts and ways in everything. I seek your wisdom to help others and to keep me on your path for my life.
