My thoughts are not your thoughts


As the heavens are higher than the earth, 
so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
 As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, 
and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, 
so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,
 so is my word that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty, 
but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

Isa 55 from NIV. No apologies for critically- and contextually-suspect but theologically appropriate reading.
