God’s Way Is Best – Guest Post

(Anna is guest-posting this afternoon…)

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For 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

Throughout our lives, we go through different circumstances; in those circumstances, we tend to think our own way of how it’s going to turn out. We have our own little view of what we think and want to happen. But, these verses tell us that God’s way and thoughts are higher than our ways and thoughts. God’s way is the BEST way! He is the only One who can see the future! He should be guiding our life, not ourselves! In chapter fifty-three of Isaiah, verse six says,  “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way…” I have written in my Bible for this verse, “Going your own way will lead you astray”.  We can’t lead our own lives! We must let God lead our life! We are going to make mistakes if we try to lead our own life because we are imperfect! But, God’s way is perfect! “As for God, his way is perfect…” ~Psalm 18:30~  Isaiah 65:2 says,  “I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts;”  I don’t want to be like those rebellious people! What do we need to do? We need to trust in God and let Him be the guide of our life! With Him at the “wheel”, we can be sure that nothing can go wrong! It may not be the way that we thought and wanted it to be, but just remember…GOD’S way is the BEST way no matter what! Proverbs 3:6 says,  “In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”  Notice it says in ALL thy ways; not in some of our ways; but in ALL our ways we are to acknowledge Him and He will direct our paths! We need to seek the Lord and let Him have HIS will and HIS way in every circumstance in our life because HIS way is perfect!

“As for God, his way is perfect…”  Psalm 18:30

His Way Is Perfect

When my way seems dark and drear and the future I don’t know,  My heart feels so empty as the tears unending flow. When my heart breaks with sorrow and a tempest fills my soul, This one thing I know for sure: my God is in control.

Chorus – His way is perfect, His way is perfect. Though I don’t understand His wise and loving plan, His way is perfect. His way is perfect. Take my life and make a vessel purified. God makes no mistakes, His way is best.  

When the toils of life are come and my heart is worn with care, I faint ‘neath the burden of a cross I cannot bear. When the joy has departed from my sorrow-stricken soul, This one thing I know for sure: my God is in control.
