“A verse that I have clung to recently is Isaiah 55:9. It says, “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. This is something that has brought me great peace. God himself is speaking and is describing the contrast between what we know and can do and what He knows and can do. His thoughts are higher than ours. His wisdom, his sovereign plan is better than anything we can come up with. His ways are higher than our ways. His ability is infinitely greater than ours.”
