This guided Scripture meditation in Isaiah 55 uses Lectio Divina.

God is doing work that we can’t even begin to imagine. In Isaiah God declares,
“my thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not my ways.”

I have to confess… from my limited perspective it can be hard to understand what God is doing. This passage reminds me that God is doing things beyond our knowing. (see Job 36:26)

As I refocus on the truth that God is God and I am not.

And that God is good – always good.

Then I start to rest in him and his work.

Listen in to this guided meditation and allow the Holy Spirit to remind you that God is working. And that he uses his good Word to accomplish his good purposes.

The passages we meditated on is as follows:

Isaiah 55:8-11, CSB

For my thoughts are not your thoughts,

and your ways are not my ways.”

This is the Lord’s declaration.

9 “For as heaven is higher than earth,

so my ways are higher than your ways,

and my thoughts than your thoughts.

10 For just as rain and snow fall from heaven

and do not return there

without saturating the earth

and making it germinate and sprout,

and providing seed to sow

and food to eat,

11 so my word that comes from my mouth

will not return to me empty,

but it will accomplish what I please

and will prosper in what I send it to do.”
