Isaiah 55:8-9

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith 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.”



In these verses God puts mankind in his place. God makes it clear that man is much lower than our Creator. O the audacity of man to think he can be as mighty as the God of Heaven!!! O how blasphemes for man to even think he can function on his own without intervention from God.
Since the fall of Adam, man has tried to free himself from his Creator. Yet we are helpless in this endeavor. God has proven to us over and over that we can do nothing without His approval. O how easily we forget it was God who gave Adam dominion over the earth. This was not Adam acting on his own. Nor was it Adam taking this dominion from God. It was given to Adam as a responsibility to be a good steward of God's creation. But after the fall, because of man's sin, he lost all communion with God. Only through God's grace and by the faith God put in man could man once again commune with his Creator. And all this only by God's election and choosing for Himself a remnant. A chosen people He has prepared for Himself. A people so precious to Him that He sent His only begotten Son to be the sacrifice that would cover all their sin from the fall of Adam till they are called home to be with Him.
If you are reading this today and you are not saved look to Christ. Fore through Him only will you find true peace and joy in this life. If His Holy Spirit is convicting you of your sin and pointing out all your faults and has put a desire in you to seek help, believe on the name of Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.

Luke 5:32

“I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”



Acts 3:19
“Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.”

Acts 4:12

“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”






Praise ye the Lord!!!
