Daily Light Devotional: Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path Psalm 119:105)
March 5 2026
Text: Isaiah 55:8-9
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
Humans have always thought that they were so wise. And our history convinces us of this idea. Just look at human history – the empires that have been built; the strategies that have won wars; the technologies that have developed. We even put a man on the moon. But the accomplishments of man pale in comparison to the handiworks of God.
By simply speaking, all of creation, all of the universe came into existence. Speaking “let there be…” and the imaginations of God sprung into reality. The accomplishments of man cannot even come close to the majesty of God and the manifestation of His wisdom.
This is why God says – “my thoughts are higher than your thoughts; and my ways are higher than your ways.” We must not think that God is boasting. He is simply stating facts. And he is making a contrast to verse 7 where He says: “let the wicked forsake their wicked ways and the righteous their thoughts.” Unlike human thoughts and ways (that are temporary), God’s thoughts and ways are eternal and reflect His character.
As you start this day, seek the Lord’s thoughts and seek to walk in His ways. It will be more beneficial to you if you did.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you for your way and thoughts that are expressed in and through Jesus Christ. I surrender to your thoughts and commit myself, by the power of the Holy Spirit, to walk in your ways. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
