Wisdom for Peacemaking

DAY 2 OF 7

God’s thoughts are not your thoughts. Our thoughts can be focused on the “what ifs,” but God’s thoughts are sure. Our thoughts focus on others and their sins, while God’s thoughts focus on us through his Son, Jesus. God’s ways are not my ways. God is holy; I am sinful. God is righteous; I am unrighteous. The only thing that will change this is what Jesus Christ has done. Jesus takes our sinfulness and redeems us at the cross.

We are to seek the Lord while he may be found. He is near, so call on him. God abundantly wants to pardon you. His word will produce growth. He is a God who is powerful, accomplishes, and succeeds. He is amazing!

APPLICATION

In your relationship with God, are God’s ways different from yours? What are God’s thoughts about you, your situation, your conflict? You may believe he doesn’t think about your situation, but he is here to speak into your life and your relationships. He is a God who sows into our lives. He accomplishes what he has purposed to do.

God, you are so above me in all your thoughts and ways. Thank you for accomplishing your will in my life. (Continue praying.)
