August 22 Devotion - God's Ways

For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts higher than your thoughts.

لأَنَّهُ كَمَا عَلَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ عَنِ الأَرْضِ، هكَذَا عَلَتْ طُرُقِي عَنْ طُرُقِكُمْ وَأَفْكَارِي عَنْ أَفْكَارِكُمْ.

ISAIAH 55:9

God always sees what is absolutely good for us—things that are good for us now, good for us in every area of our lives, good for those around us, and good for us through all eternity. The definition of what is ‘good’ changes as we come to Christ and grow into His likeness. God’s ways are different than our ways. He gives us only the things that are truly beneficial for our growth as His children and that are beneficial for the advancement of His Kingdom on this earth.

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings and Your deep everlasting love for me. Lord You are Good and I praise You, glorify You and lift You up on high. Jesus, help me to pray for what is good for me and for the people impacted by what I am praying for. Help me to have the discernment and wisdom to know what to pray for. Help me to pray for those things that will help me grow in Your likeness and for the advancement of Your Kingdom. I declare Jesus as my Lord and Saviour and I pray in His Holy Name. To Him be the power, the glory, the majesty, the blessings, and the dominion forever and ever, Amen.

Jesus loves you,

In Him,
