As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. God's thoughts are indeed higher than ours, but when he reduces his thoughts into words and reveals them in Scripture, he expects us to study them, meditate on them, and understand them-again, not exhaustively, but accurately.

The quote highlights the profound difference between divine thoughts and human understanding, suggesting that God's wisdom transcends human reasoning. It emphasizes that while God’s thoughts are more complex and elevated than ours, He has chosen to communicate these thoughts through Scripture. This means that His message is accessible to us, allowing us to engage with it meaningfully.

Randy Alcorn challenges readers to approach Scripture with the intention to learn and comprehend its teachings. Although we may never fully grasp the entirety of His wisdom, the call is to study and meditate on these divine words accurately. This approach can deepen our understanding of God’s nature and purpose for our lives.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
