What methods have you discovered that bring the most

desired results? When those methods are exhausted and no

solution is near, is there another method available? Where

could one find such methods and ways for solutions?

God spoke through Isaiah and told us that His methods are

much better for us: "For as the heavens are higher than the

earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My

thoughts than your thoughts" (Isa 55:9). His thoughts for

us include those that we cannot conceive or comprehend.

The Psalmist realized that his resources and methods were

frequently exhausted and that he needed additional help and

declared: "From the end of the earth I will cry to You, When

my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher

than I" (Psa 61:2). He asked for that higher answer and

solution for he knew of its solid nature.

Elihu exhorted Job to call on that higher additional

resource when his understanding could not explain his

difficulties: "Look to the heavens and see; And behold

the clouds-They are higher than you" (Job 35:5). Call

on the greater source of God for your help. Nahum tells

us: "The Lord is slow to anger and great in power, And

will not leave the guilty unpunished. The Lord has His way

In the whirlwind and in the storm, And the clouds are

the dust of His feet" (Nah 1:3). His higher way can be

the solution and resource for you.

Let us remember who has the higher and better way.

God's name is Jehová Elyon. He is the God of a higher

and better way. He is the most high God. His solution

to every problem is a better solution. That solution and

way can be yours today. Lift your hands to Him today

for His higher way. Trust Him and Praise Him Today

for a better way!
