Heartlight Daily Devotional Friday, March 3, 2006 "My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the Lord. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." --Isaiah 55:8-9 New International Version THOUGHTS ABOUT 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 about 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. MY PRAYER... Tender Shepherd, thank you for being so patient with me when I cannot fully understand and 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. ----------- Heartlight Daily devotional and prayer are written by Phil Ware of HEARTLIGHT Magazine, on the web at: <http://www.crosswalkmail.com/gdpseek_ymdwqz.html>http://www.heartlight.org ----------- The NIV Daily Verse is provided by <http://www.crosswalkmail.com/mklifff_ymdwqz.html>http://www.zondervan.com If you enjoyed this newsletter, forward it on to a friend. * Copyright 2006 Salem Web Network and its Content Providers.
