THE WAYS OF GOD

Isaiah 55:8-9

“For My counsels are not as your counsels, neither are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. “But as heaven is distant from earth, so is My way distant from your ways, and your thoughts from My mind.”

Personal Challenge

Be very wary when someone proclaims to be following the ways of God and exhibiting behaviors that are contradictory to what God has told us to do. Jesus warned us to be on the watch for false prophets, anti-Christs, and leaders that were actually wolves in sheep’s clothing. It is always critical to observe the fruit of one’s labor to understand the true nature of their heart. Sowing hatred and division is not of God. Demeaning others, tearing them down, and praising oneself is not of God. Doing things that will destroy families, harm innocent people, take food and care from those in need, and other acts like these are not of God. His ways are not the ways of man. Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!
