My ways are higher than yours --Isaiah 55

Isa55
Sometimes our faith becomes shattered. We're not sure what we're believing, and our strength weakens. We become thirsty.(V1)
We tend to look to all kinds of sources to satisfy our need, but we won't be satisfied(V2).
"Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, and delight yourself in abudance. Incline your ear and come to Me. Listen, that you may live." Only the word of God can sustain us. When we're troubled, we must run fast to come to Him. We have to be very picky in what we allow our ears to hear. Only His words can satisfy us, and not only satisfy, it will be abundantly.
Sometimes we can't figure out why, we can't see our way clearly. The thoughts of doubt try to squeeze in. But we need to remember, that"My ways are higher than your ways, and My thoughts higher than your thoughts."(v8)
We need to hold on to God's promises, His words, as "It will not return to Me empty, without accomplishing what I desire, and without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it."(v11)
Don't try to accomplish God's word in our own strength, as there will be strife and struggle. But look to Him, for His ways, then "you will go out with joy, and be led forth with peace; the mountains and the hills will break forth into shouts of joy before you..."(v12)
