Daily D – Isaiah 55:8-9

by David Bowman | May 2, 2024 | Daily D | 0 comments

Isaiah 55:8, 9 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not my ways.” This is the Lord’s declaration. “For as heaven is higher than earth, so my ways are higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.“ (CSB)

Elevate your game. Think better thoughts. Take better lead actions. Enjoy better outcomes. Think God’s thoughts after him.

I have never had an original thought. There’s a pretty good chance you haven’t, either. Contrary to many of our teachers along the way, originality is not the most important thing in our writing and speaking. Alignment and attunement with the heart and mind of God are much more important.

God invites us to think with him. (See Isaiah 1:18-20.) He invites to exchange our errant considerations for his perfect understanding and direction (See 55:7.)

We elevate our game and we improve our lives by pondering God’s words of truth and life. We do this when we make time to read the Bible day by day. We enhance this when we commit to memory verses like these. Knowing God’s heart and mind and allowing him to shape our own leads us in the right direction as we navigate our journeys day by day.

How high will you jump or bounce today? God has an idea for you on that.

I will elevate my life by thinking God’s thoughts after him.

Our Father, open my heart to your words of truth and life. Give me ears to hear what you are saying. Give me a willing and obedient heart to do what you say, to follow where you lead. Give me your perspective on all things at all times. Amen.

Daily D – Micah 6:8

Micah 6:8
He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.
And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.

Daily D – Psalm 9:10

Psalm 9:10 “Those who know your name trust in you,
for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.”

Daily D – Jonah 1:13-16

Jonah 1:13-16 Instead, the men did their best to row back to land. But they could not, for the sea grew even wilder than before. Then they cried out to the Lord, “Please, Lord, do not let us die for taking this man’s life. Do not hold us accountable for killing an innocent man, for you, Lord, have done as you pleased.” Then they took Jonah and threw him overboard, and the raging sea grew calm. At this the men greatly feared the Lord, and they offered a sacrifice to the Lord and made vows to him.

Daily D – Amos 7:12-15

Amos 7:12-15
Then Amaziah said to Amos, “Get out, you seer! Go back to the land of Judah. Earn your bread there and do your prophesying there. Don’t prophesy anymore at Bethel, because this is the king’s sanctuary and the temple of the kingdom.”

Amos answered Amaziah, “I was neither a prophet nor the son of a prophet, but I was a shepherd, and I also took care of sycamore-fig trees. But the LORD took me from tending the flock and said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’ Now then, hear the word of the LORD.

Daily D – Amos 4:12-13

Amos 4:12, 13
“Therefore this is what I will do to you, Israel,
and because I will do this to you, Israel,
prepare to meet your God.”

He who forms the mountains,
who creates the wind,
and who reveals his thoughts to mankind,
who turns dawn to darkness,
and treads on the heights of the earth—
the Lord God Almighty is his name.
