Isaiah 55:6-9 “Seek the Lord while he may be found; call upon him while he is near; let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
How comforting is that. To believe that the Lord’s thoughts and ways are higher, and what He requires is for us to seek after Him and trust in His great love and compassion for us. That we can call upon Him and He is faithful to forgive us and hear our cry. Even when we say yes to God’s calling to ministry and to missions at home or in Uganda, we as humans tend to take over with our own plans. We want to see our projects succeed and we get lost in the details, failing to seek Him first. As we move through this month of prayer for the Ebenezer Church Building Project, we must keep our hearts and minds opens to God’s plan, to understand and trust in His timing and His provision above all.
Lord, we praise You that Your thoughts are higher, that Your ways are higher, that You are faithful and compassionate. We trust You with every detail of this Ebenezer Church Building Project, and we desire that Your will be done. We give You all the glory and honor through every step, every day. Amen.
