Key Verse: Verse 9 – “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
Key Words: so are my ways higher than your ways
The word higher means exact. God’s ways are more exacting than man’s ways.
As you read Scripture, it becomes apparent that God’s ways are heavenly and man’s ways are earthly. We often use human wisdom to exact while God uses heavenly wisdom.
I fought in Viet Nam. It would not be unusual for a surveillance plane to call down and tell us where the enemy was located. We often would guess where the next enemy attack would come from, but because the surveillance plane was much higher than we were, they knew. Their thoughts were accurate because they were higher than we were.
So it is with God: His thoughts are higher than ours. Now, we would have been foolish not to heed the advice of those in the surveillance plane. So the same is true for us today: we would be foolish not to heed God. He sees what we cannot see, and our life depends on us following His direction.
