November 24, 2017 - - Isaiah 55:8-9 How to interpret life

“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.

Isaiah 55:8-9 NIV

Perhaps the greatest danger of all for Christian people is the danger of understanding the Scriptures in the light of their own experiences. We should not interpret Scripture in the light of our experiences, but should examine our experiences in the light of the teaching of the Scripture.

Martyn Lloyd-Jones "Joy Unspeakable: Power and Renewal inn the Holy Spirit" page 16

Sovereign of Heaven and Earth, forgive my presumptuous ways and haughty heart. You are All-Glorious. Your Word alone is Truth. By Your Spirit help me to faithfully follow Jesus, not the standards and norms of this world, but lead me in the way of Jesus. Amen
