D4G – Higher Ways
Posted by admin | Posted in Devotion | Posted on 03-03-2009
Isaiah 55:8-9 (NIV)
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
God thing here! No, not me, well He has saved me and all, but no, the verse. I don’t want to surprise to many, but the verses I choose for the devotion are not always thought up ahead of time. As a matter of fact if you head to Bible Gateway.com you just might see where I get my verses. So . . today is Isaiah 55:8-9.
Amazing. Why? Because today I am editing a movie I shot in Lord of the Rings Online last night to post on my old and just revived LotRO Blog, Under the Banner. I am going over the mechanics of a new quest tracking system that will come out with the next free content release, book 7.
Ok. . I can tell I am boring you. Here is what is so awesome about this. Many will whine and complain that the developers are making an easy mode. Instead of having to read very carefully and search for hours a new player can simply look on the map for a quest objective. It will point you in the general direction. GENERAL DIRECTION.
Hmm. Ok. . So, when God does something in our life, or does something that we don’t get, do you think that He might be pointing you in some direction?
Here is the best part, hold on, cause this is so cool. On the LotRO forums some QQers are complaning that the developers have no clue how to run a game. REALLY? It is true that sometimes dev’s can be shortsighted, but I know from experience that the group working on LotRO have made some very controversial decisions in the past, that have only shown to be the right ones down the line.
How many times to we QQ at God for what He is doing in our lives? How many times do we wish He was listening, when what really happens is we stop paying attention, He is always listening to us, even when we complain.
So if you are having a bad day, week, year, or life, just remember that God’s ways and thoughts are not our ways and thoughts. Even though we might not get it, or understand it, or want it the way it is now, He knows best, and the outcome, in the end, is ALWAYS right!
