“As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways
higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.” Isaiah 55:9
Once when I had the
opportunity to fly to Japan, I heard the captain mention that we were going
to climb to a height that would take advantage of the Jet Stream. When planes fly in the Jet Stream, it minimizes the use of fuel and maximizes the speed of the aircraft. Jet Streams are fast flowing narrow air
currents found in the atmosphere of some planets including earth.
The pilots in order to take
advantage of this Jet Stream highway - usually must climb up to between 29,000 - 39,000
feet above sea level. Although the pilots can get to their destinations at
different heights, the airlines have discovered that utilizing the Jet Stream when using it as a tail wind - is the better way!
Do you know that God also has
a “HIGH way” – a better way? The LORD says,
“As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are MY ways higher than your ways
and MY thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55:9).
As we are journeying on this earth, we don't always understand God's HIGH ways and as a result can become confused, frustrated, perplexed, overwhelmed and impatient. But when we connect with God through His Word and wait on His timing, He will lift us up to His Jet Stream and He will carry us effortlessly with His strength to His destination for us.
Fortunately for us, God's HIGH ways are not conditioned on the direction of the Jet Stream and we don’t have to climb to 29,000 -39,000 feet to enjoy the blessings of God's HIGHER ways :)!
As a child of God, we have a loving, All Knowing heavenly Father who is at the helm of our life and He is not only in control of the air currents, the atmosphere, the economy and the nations - but He is in control of EVERY detail of our life!
"If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the utmost part of the sea, even there Your hand shall lead me and Your right hand shall hold me." Psalms 139:10-11.

I was led to this tonight. There have been 2 things on my mind very strong for the past couple days.

These are BOTH at the top of your page when I clicked on your blog. God's got my attention. Thank you for being confirmation. We know He's moving our family to Alaska. He's put it on our hearts to open and care for a homeless teen center in Alaska. We live in Texas right now. WE don't know how He's doing this but HE does. Being led to your story about His timing and when you said this: "He will lift us up to His Jet Stream and He will carry us effortlessly with His strength to His destination for us."
Prayers welcome because this is more than a little intimidating. We can see how He's been training us for this job over 30 years now.
Just know God spoke to me through you tonight.
Thank you. :)
Thank you for your encouragement! What a beautiful family you must be to trust God with all of your hearts! It will be my pleasure to keep your family in my prayers.
