"So are My ways higher than you ways, and My thoughts higher than your thoughts." Isaiah 55:9 NKJV
Your internal picture of God decides how you see everything else. The majority of our troubles are not circumstantial; they are perceptual. We can trace our biggest problems back to an insufficient understanding of who God is. God says, "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts." A best-selling author informs us: "Astronomers have spied galaxies 12.3 billion light-years from earth. To put that distance into perspective, consider that fact that light traveling at 186,000 miles per second only takes eight minutes to travel the 93 million miles between the sun and plant earth. Sunlight is only eight minutes old. But light from the farthest galaxy takes 12.3 billion light-years to get here. The distance is virtually incomprehensible. And God says that is about the distance between His thoughts and our thoughts. Your best thought about God on your best day falls 12.3 billion light-years short of how good God really is...Maybe it's time to stop placing four-dimensional limits on God. Maybe it's time to stop putting God in a box the size of your cerebral cortex. It's time stop creating God in your image and let Him create you in His." The more we grow, the bigger God should become. And the bigger God becomes, the smaller our troubles will become. The hymnist, Oscar C. Eilason wrote: "Got any rivers you think are uncrossable? God any mountains you can't tunnel through? God specializes things thought impossible. He can do just what none other can do."
