Here’s a sobering Psalm for us to ponder.
“I said, I will watch my ways and keep my tongue from sin; I will put a muzzle on my mouth while in the presence of the wicked.
So I remained utterly silent, not even saying anything good. But my anguish increased; my heart grew hot within me.
While I meditated, the fire burned; then I spoke with my tongue:
Show me, Lord, my life’s end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting my life is.
You have made my days a mere handbreadth; the span of my years is as nothing before you. Everyone is but a breath, even those who seem secure.
Surely everyone goes around like a mere phantom; in vain they rush about, heaping up wealth without knowing whose it will finally be.
But now, Lord, what do I look for? My hope is in you. Save me from all my transgressions; do not make me the scorn of fools.”
Psalm 39: 1-8 (NIV).

This verse keeps coming back to me whenever people act like their personal sense of morality, justice, or goodness somehow outranks God’s.
Their thoughts are higher than the Creator’s?
That idea is both arrogant and absurd. It leaves me somewhere between an eye-roll and genuine sadness.
“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.”
Isaiah 55:8–9 (NIV)

This passage from Isaiah arrests me in my tracks. The more I sit with it, the more it undoes me.
“Who has believed our message
and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.
Surely he took up our pain
and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God,
stricken by him, and afflicted.
But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.”
Isaiah 53:1-5 (NIV)
Does this one move you too? Or is there another verse that hits you in a similar way?

We face so many decisions every day—some small, some that shape our future. In the middle of it all, I find much comfort in this promise:
“Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.’”
Isaiah 30:21 (NIV)
