The Higher Ways

Welcome to the Days of Praise podcast, a daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. The Higher Ways. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah fifty five nine. God's thoughts and ways are by no means equivalent to man's.

How then can we hope to understand those things that He has communicated to us in His Word? To be sure, God has not told us all He knows. But what He has provided is sufficient for our faith. And He has also given clues to the nature of many things we can only fully know in eternity. We know enough now to trust him for the things we can't verify.

But the aspect of Scripture that sets it apart from all other religious writings is that its truths are surrounded by and based on historical and scientific facts that are verifiable. The fact that we find scripture to be accurate wherever it can be checked gives us reason to believe that those teachings that we can't check are accurate as well. What are some of God's favorite object lessons? Certainly his creation is one. A God who can call something into existence that didn't exist before can do anything.

Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things. Another standard is God's deliverance of Israel from Egypt. According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt, will I shew unto him marvelous things. Yet another is the second regathering of Israel in the last days. The Lord liveth that brought up the children of Israel from all the lands whither he had driven them.

The final great guarantee that He will work on our behalf is the fact of the resurrection His power to usward who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which we wrought in Christ when He raised Him from the dead. Make no mistake. God is capable of solving any problem we have, and what's more, He wants us to know it. Yeah.
