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.

There will always be some who maintain that there is only one Bible, the Christian Bible translated into English by order of King James in the 1600’s. While I hate to paint people with one broad brush stroke, it seems to me that adults who hold this belief have the same concept of God that they were taught in the third grade. They hold God prisoner in their church and only visit on Sundays. For the other six and a half days of the week, God acts as distant authority figure trying to punish them for “wrong” behavior as defined by those in their church who claim to know the will of God.

But for many who have rejected this narrow concept of God and are searching for a higher calling and spiritual meaning in their lives, this book may be the water sent by God to nourish them in their search. It could be the key to help them see how God is at work in the world. It may show how God touches their lives every day, not just Sunday.
Who knows for sure? I may be totally wrong, but I trust that God knows what each individual needs, and at the proper time in their lives, will help them bud and flourish in ways that I cannot understand.
