“FOR MY THOUGHTS ARE NOT YOUR
THOUGHTS, NEITHER ARE YOUR WAYS
GOD-SIZED MY WAYS, DECLARES THE LORD. FOR
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
DEVOTIONAL BY DR. JAMES E. TAYLOR
God has grand plans for each of us. His plans, thoughts, and intentions for our lives far exceed
anything we can dream or imagine. Here is what we know: we know God loves us, we know
God cares about our fears and concerns, we know God created us for a big purpose, and we
know God wants us to walk in alignment with him. God’s thoughts and ways make our greatest
plans look miniscule. The challenge we each face is to live daily with the desire to see the
grand plans of God come to fruition in our lives and in the lives of our children. It should be
confidence-inducing to know that the God who created the universe knows you, loves you, and
has big plans for your life. Live and lead with the evidence of that truth!

Q1: What is distracting you from understanding God’s grand plan for your life?
Q2: How can you seek to know God’s direction better for you and your family?
Q3: Will you be ready to respond to the God-Sized Dreams the Lord has planned
for you?
APPLY
It is not our natural mindset to be aligned with God. Strive to think big thoughts about
the possibilities of God in your life and in your family. This begins with your alignment
with God. God-Sized Dreams begin with walking with God daily. Watch what amazing
things happen when you begin every day with Him.
