What do you expect from the world?

 by David Long

"Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. 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" (Isa. 55:7-9).

The world doesn't get God's ways because God's thoughts are foreign to them. Why are God's thoughts foreign to the wicked? Because they have rejected God's word (Rom. 1:28; Eph. 4:17-18). But what do you expect from the world? The masses never have stayed with God for very long.
