God's Thoughts

I am thinking of the scripture in Isaiah 55:8. God tells us that His thought and ways are not the same as ours. I understand this because I have seen the ways that He has worked in my life. First of all, when He comes and says that He want to provide for me, I am thinking physically but He is thinking spiritually. He want to give me spiritual wealth beyond anything I have ever heard. I may receive that financial wealth, but that is a blessing coming from my obedience in seeking after God.

He is wanting me to seek Him for Him not because of His provisions in my life. As a human, this can be hard to grasp. How do I separate my what I feel my needs are from what God want me to be pursuing? I am learning that by just praising God during your prayer time really opens up a new understanding in your mind. Don't ask Him for anything, just praise Him for who He is. Also, spend time daily studying His Word. I find that when I don't do this I start looking on my physical needs and circumstances instead of keeping my focus on God. Doing these two things have really helped my with my spiritual needs. I am also finding that I don't worry about my physical needs when I praise God for who He is and when I daily spend time learning about His Words.
