Isaiah 55:8-9 says “For 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.”
Even though we read this passage, we still want to understand the “why” of what God tells us to do before we are willing to submit to His will. We read the Bible but we don’t accept it because we don’t understand it. The best way I can explain it is like this; Peggy and I have been married for 30 years and during that time we have had to learn men and women think differently. Revolutionary I know. Sarcasm aside, we really had to understand there were just some things about the other that we would never understand. Peggy would do something or even think a certain way and I would think, “what in the world?” You see Peggy thinks like a woman, and that is exactly what I wanted, a woman, so why get made at someone for thinking the way she was created to think. The same with Peggy, she wanted to marry a man, so sometimes she says, “I don’t understand why you did that, it must be a guy thing.”
In the same way, God as our creator thinks on a level we are not capable of, so why do we try? We need to say, while reading the Bible, I don’t understand why but if you want me to, I will. Don’t let people try and keep you from obeying His will by saying to you, “now let me tell you what that means”. Read for yourself the implanted Word which is able to save you soul. God will not lead you astray, but man will.
