"The Lord says, 'My thoughts are not like your thoughts.
Your ways are not like my ways.
Just as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.
Rain and snow fall from the sky
and don't return without watering the ground.
They cause the plants to sprout and grow,
making seeds for the farmer
and bread for the people.
The same thing is true of the words I speak.
They will not return to me empty.
They make the things happen that I want to happen,
and they succeed in doing what I send them to do.
So you will go out with joy
and be led out in peace.
The mountains and hills will burst into song before you,
and all the trees in the fields will clap their hands.'" NCV emphasis added
This verse has just been all over my mind lately. I had never looked at this verse before and actually realized what it said. God is basically saying that, no matter what, He IS in control. He will make things happen. Now I know to some, that seems quite scary and rude, but if you think about it, we humans are in His best interest. He loves us, and He wants us to know if He says He is going to do something, He will do it. We can't think that our pitiful human muscles are going pound their way around it.
When reading this I also understand how important it is for me to trust that God is going to pull through for me. Because what He says, goes.
