We all wonder at times, what is going on in our individual lives, or in the world at large. And, it appears that some things are out of control. But the Bible teaches that God is working in ways that we cannot imagine or even see. Let's look at this lesson from a spot in Briarwood. "'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.'" (Isaiah 55:8–9) What an encouraging text for us! The way God uses to bring us to Him is still the same, His Word. But He also orchestrates other things into our lives that make us receptive to His Word. Consider taking some time to read Isaiah 53-55 and let His Word draw you to Himself. Consider this text written 700 years before Jesus was born! Isaiah 53:1–6 1 Who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
