"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

I can't count the number of times that the Lord has reminded me of this verse when I go through difficult situations in my life. Whether I am dealing with the heartache of losing a loved one, the disappointment of being betrayed by a close friend, or the frustrations that life so often throws our way, God is constantly reminding me that His plans are much greater than my own.


The title of this blog is, "A Look at Life from a Deerstand". As I pointed out in a previous post, when you hunt from a deerstand you can see much more as opposed to sitting on the ground. It's the same with God. He is in the deerstand, and we're on the ground (if you'll excuse the hunter lingo). He can see much more than we can, and thus He knows what He's doing when He sends us through difficult situations.


Though it is hard sometimes, because we tend to think that God owes us an explanation for everything He does, we've got to learn to trust in Him. He sees the end before we even see the beginning, and we have to trust that His way is the right way.

"Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass."
