Isaiah 55:8-11 (ESV)
written at Sunday, October 16, 2011
For my thoughts are not your
thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares 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.
"For as the rain and the snow come down
from heaven and do not return there but water the earth, making it
bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the
eater, so shall my word be that
goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall
accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which
I sent it.

Knowing
What matters supremely, therefore, is not
in the last analysis, the fact that I know God,
but the larger fact which underlies it --
the fact that He knows me.
