As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.But even though we can't completely grasp God's motivation, Paul provides a hint about why we were created. Actually, it's more than a hint; it's a direction on how to live! Paul states (Ephesians 2:10 KJV),
We are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.That is, God predestined, even before our birth, that we should pursue "good works" and "walk in them."
So if that's our main reason for existing, then it's especially distressful -- first to God, but also eventually to ourselves -- when we don't "walk in them," but rather follow our own earthly pursuits. Let us recommit our ways to God, and ask for forgiveness for the times we've failed to walk in his ways
