God's "Modus Operandi"

"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)

"I want to know how God created this world. I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know His thoughts; the rest are details." Albert Einstein

I don't have many earthly heroes, but Albert Einstein is certainly one of mine. Through a combination of incredible study and persistence and a divine gift of insight and inspiration, God bestowed (for reasons only known to God), the knowledge of the workings of the universe upon this man. Einstein proposed theories of time and space which were completely foreign and incomprehensible to our everyday experience. Yet, these theories are being proven, even today, to be completely true. We would never understand these concepts from our perception of the world as we know it. It is only by taking a scientific "leap of faith" that Einstein was able to postulate these completely new and revolutionary theories of the workings of the cosmos.

The ways of God are the same. They are often very different and contrary to the workings of the world and our everyday experiences. You cannot sit around thinking about God and hope to understand how He works, moves, and operates. God and heaven function in a way only understandable to those who chose to comprehend things on God's terms and not the world's terms.

How do we go about understanding God's "modus operandi", which is so different from our everyday experiences in life? By seeking. Go through the Bible and find how many quotes you can find from God asking man to seek His ways. Hundreds!

It is God's desire that humankind seek His will, His way of doing business, His "modus operandi". It is very different than what we might, by nature or by supposition, perceive. Hebrews 11:6 says, "...He rewards those who earnestly seek Him." You do not need to be Albert Einstein to perceive God's ways and thoughts. Seek Him with your whole heart and you will be rewarded and see the world and the universe anew. Will you not choose to seek Him today?
