That wasn't what I was thinking.

Isaiah 58:8,9 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith 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.

Have you ever done exactly what you thought God wanted you to do and ended up looking at a colossal train wreck? You knew you were suppose to do xyz, and so you did. Everything goes along just fine and then suddenly, the next thing you know wham. This person is upset, this person is angry, and this other person is just plain hurt. It doesn't make sense. And you can't imagine what on earth God could have possibly been thinking.

Isaiah 58:8,9 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith 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.

The hardest part to me, is to not apologize. If God orchestrated the events, then I shouldn't be apologizing for God. But I feel very responsible for the hurt and frustration people are facing because of me doing what I knew to be right.

Isaiah 58:8,9 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith 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.

All I can see to do is to sit back and simply wait for God. Surely He won't leave us like this. He might though. He promised all things work together for good to them that love God and are called according to His purpose. That doesn't necessarily mean that I'll see it happen. But that it will happen.

Isaiah 58:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
