"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."

Think about this. These verses are straight from Isaiah 55 (verses 8-9 to be exact). God's ways are higher than our ways, they are unsearchable, and we will never know to what extent God had them planned out. I find this slightly unnerving and comforting at the same time. Unnerving in the sense that I will never comprehend who my God is, and comforting in the sense that this is the way it should be. 

I know that I am guilty of wanting exact information the moment that I need it. I think many Americans and others who have the luxury of internet can relate to that. It is so easy to know things now. "What's the forecast? What's the score? What exactly is fried Alaska?" The limits of our knowledge seems endless, and better yet it can fit into our pocket. 

But, as I have experienced, Google knowledge eventually runs dry. We do not have and will never have all of the answers, especially to our most important answers--at least not in the form we expect it to be. God's word, as typical of a church answer this is, holds all our answers. Sure, it is not a forum to ask God questions and expect a simple answer. But the comfort that is found in those passages, and ultimately through the entire Bible, has gotten me through the toughest times in my life. More comfort, peace, and assurance have come to me through the Bible than any amount of Google answers have and will ever bring. 

So I will gladly "cast (my) anxieties on Him, because He cares for (me)" 1 Peter 5:7 (I replaced you for me.) I know that His ways are something I will never understand, and we can all take comfort in that.
