Isaiah 55:8: “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.”
The word for thought here is not “sh’ar” as in Proverbs 23:7: This word is “chashav.” Sh’ar has the idea of thinking to make a decision, this thinking it to invent or create. Hence your inventions are not God’s inventions. Your ways are not God ways. The word way is “derek” Derek has the idea of following a path that leads to a filling of the Spirit of God.
Proverbs 14:12: “There is a way which seems right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” Again we have the word “derek” for ways. As derek represents a path to God, the derek of death would be a way of spiritual death.
If our thoughts, our creative inventions are not God’s creative inventions, then the derek we follow will not be a derek of God and will result in spiritual death.
History is littered with the dry, sun baked bones of Christians who convinced themselves that their thoughts were God’s thoughts and ended in on a path that was not God’s path.
