Isaiah 55:8-9
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.

9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

In this last year, I have set and pondered on the thought of why on so many things. I have wondered how people can be so evil. I have asked why so many good people have to endure suffering. I have prayed and asked God for an understanding of why young men and women with good hearts pass away when it feels like it is before their time. The only answer and comfort I get is this verse. It’s not punishment that we go through these things. It’s not God ignoring us. It is simply his plan and his way. We get upset when the good suffers, but the people who are in sin prosper. We try to find answers on things that we know God only knows why it has come to pass. I know it is hard to say, but we will never truly understand because God’s plan is greater than anything we could imagine. So, when the question of why enters your mind, stop and know the “why” is because deemed it so. Not to punish us, but because it is his will and we must accept it.
