"My ways are higher"

"How are you?"
"I'm fine"
"Why aren't you... fantastic??"
"Because I'm a sinner and live in a sinful world."

That is true and that is how I feel very often... not fantastic. I see my shortcomings, sins, but also especially the world not spinning the way I want it to. What I want or my will is very often not the way God wants or wills for my life. I hold on tightly to my desires that do not align with God's. God will always have His way. =/

But then I realize that His ways are higher than my ways. His ways are better than my ways. It takes a lot of discipline and breaking of my pride to realize that if I trust in Him and His ways, I can delight more. I can delight in His goodness, His character, His love, His gifts, His salvation. I can delight in Him.

Isaiah 55
