A Meditation to Trust the God Who Created This Universe from Isaiah 55v8-9

This is Christian Meditation for A Bigger Life – a time for you to relax your body and refocus your mind to experience the reality of God’s presence. I’m Dave Cover. I want to help you with Christian meditation where you can break through all the distractions and experience God’s presence through biblically guided imagination. 

Nehemiah 9:6 (NIV)

“You alone are the LORD. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you.”

Isaiah 55:8-9 (NIV)

“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.”

For one, we don’t know all that God knows. And this is especially true when our circumstances get tough. Life becomes painful. We have to remember that we don’t know what God knows. As the heavens are higher than the Earth – as the universe is incomprehensibly vast – so are God‘s thoughts incomprehensibly higher than our thoughts. What he knows is far higher – far more vast – than what we know. In other words, it wouldn’t make sense, if God is the one who created this entire universe, that everything he says and does would be something that we showed or even can’t understand. So we have to trust. Faith is trusting God with things we don’t understand yet.
