Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. Isaiah 55:6-11

What a Father we have! The basis of His judgment, who can fathom except He reveals it! (John 5:19,30). Oh, that we will cease from presumption in looking at the errant one! How we need to get into the realms of the Olam described in Isaiah 55: 8, 9.

My thoughts and way are restricted in time and focused on the moment. Before the Olam, all things are in the now; the beginning to the middle to the end is in the now. That’s why He can make such powerful statements as He did in Jeremiah 29:11 (NLT/MSG/TLB). That’s the revelation Paul had, having seen from the eyes of El Olam, he came to this conclusion in 2 Corinthian 5:17-20 (NLT/Mess), note particularly verses 19 and 20.

Stop fretting, stop being angry Psalm 37:8 (NLT/TLB/Mess), realise the power of His way and the irreversibility of His word and intent in all that pertains to you and yours. He is in control and has the end clearly defined in your favour.
