Isaiah 55:8-9
““For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” says Yahweh. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.””
This passage is from the prophet Isaiah, who ministered in Judah during the 8th century BCE. He spoke to a people facing judgment and exile, but also offered messages of hope and restoration. Here, the prophet conveys God's words, emphasizing a fundamental difference between divine and human understanding.
What does acknowledging the difference between divine and human knowledge invite us to reconsider about our own certainties?
