Isaiah 55:8
"'For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways," says the
Lord."
God is God and I am not. For this, I am incredibly thankful. I would never, in my power be able to do a smidgen of what God does. Actually, I can't do anything without His Spirit guiding me the entire way, so I know without a doubt that I can't do anything. This is the overall reality, but my flesh sometimes tries to convince me otherwise. It allows the devil to whisper that the actions I am doing and the thoughts I am thinking are the right ways, even when they contradict what God has ordained. When I act off of my own judgements, I know they are not what I should be doing, for I should be seeking the Kingdom of God and all other desires will fade away..
I want to, every day, memorize a verse that really speaks to me in my devotional. I want to have God's ways imprinted on my heart, so I don't in any way try to do anything by my own judgement but follow His commands.
Verse of the day: Proverbs 3:11-12 "My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, Nor detest His correction. For whom the Lord loves He corrects, Just as a father, his son in whom he delights."
