Bible Note: Indeed, "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor 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." Is 55:8-9. Yet, we trace his hand all that we see! "The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit." John 3:8, and also Ps 107, "Who is wise? Let him give heed to these things, And consider the lovingkindnesses of the LORD." |
