God Made Moms To Teach...Our Ways/Thoughts Are Not Always His Ways/Thoughts

I had a conversation with one of my girlfriends over the weekend about parents(our parents) and the choices they have made. We clearly disagreed on how parents who have made choices we disagreed with should not even expect or seek our help. The conversation really bothered me but as friends do, we agreed to disagree and that was it. Well over the last couple of days I'm still thinking about our conversation and "why" she felt the way she did and this is what was placed in my spirit this morning "our thoughts are not his thoughts". I've learned that I will not always be able to get the answers I seek to my "why" questions because we all are different and different folk have different answers, feelings, ways, and thoughts. Friends, I really don't know if I'm using what was placed in my spirit out of context but it has allowed me to accept my friend's thoughts on a very touchy subject. I also recognize that some times our actions are not aligned with what God would want or have us to do. We sometimes pay the price for not seeking His will and sometimes He renders His grace and mercy upon us and actions ahead of time. Our ways/thoughts are not always His ways/thoughts but we still can try and seek His will for us in all things, even in helping our parents through the results of what we deem as bad choices.

Be blessed and encouraged today, it's your choice. ~ Delphine

Proverbs 5:21 For a man's ways are in full view of the LORD, and he examines all his paths.

Proverbs 21:29 A wicked man puts up a bold front, but an upright man gives thought to his ways.

Psalm 10:4 In his pride the wicked does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God.

Isaiah 55:7 Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will freely pardon.
