Previous Daily Devotional About when God says "No" in His wisdom… Isaiah 55:9 "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. (NIV) As a race of
so-called intelligent beings, we have developed ways of killing off our race. We
have ways of destroying all life on earth. God must look at us in angered
frustration over what we have done. God's wrath must burn over what we continue
to do to each other and to the planet. If we will be honest with God and with
ourselves, we will see God tells us "No" because God is smarter and
wiser than we are. Although our brains can possess wisdom, most often we do not
use our wisdom to glorify God. Although we are mature enough to absorb wisdom,
write wisdom down, and proclaim wisdom, most often we do not apply wisdom. Is it
any wonder God sometimes refuses to give us what we want when we want it?
Perhaps God does not give us what we want because telling us "No" is
the only way God has to keep us from self-destruction. We tell a little child
they cannot play with fire or scissors because we know the child could be hurt
or killed from the fire or scissors. God is much wiser than we are. God is more
able to see how what we do today can glorify Him today and tomorrow. |
