God's ThoughtsLORD you have done such great things! How deep are your thoughts!Psalm 92:5 (NCV)God's thoughts are not our thoughts, nor are they even like ours. We aren'teven in the same neighborhood. We're thinking, Preserve the body; he'sthinking, Save the soul. We dream of a pay raise. He dreams of raising thedead. We avoid pain and seek peace. God uses pain to bring peace. "I'm goingto live before I die," we resolve. "Die, so you can live," he instructs. Welove what rusts. He loves what endures. We rejoice at our successes. Herejoices at our confessions. We show our children the Nike star with themillion-dollar smile and say, "Be like Mike." God points to the crucifiedcarpenter with bloody lips and a torn side and says, "Be like Christ."From: The Great House of GodCopyright (Word Publishing, 1997)Max LucadoStay FocusedandBlessed.........................Jan
