Welcome back to the Be Encouraged! Podcast! You are listening to esode # 7 and final episode of the Believe series called, God’s Way is Better
Isaiah 55:8-9 (NIV)
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
Are you in a season of waiting, wondering if all your creating, doing, and striving is making a difference?
This episode gently reminds us that God is the ultimate Creator—and that His plans are far better than the ones we could ever imagine for ourselves. Through personal testimony, biblical truth, and reflective encouragement, I am inviting you to examine whether your efforts are aligned with God’s calling… or if you’ve been trying to do it all on your own.
We'll talk about:
The difference between creating or working with God versus creating or working for ourselves.
Why listening, obeying, and surrendering are keys to unlocking true peace and purpose in Christ.
How the book of Isaiah shows us hope and redemption, even in seasons of silence and uncertainty.
Practical ways to discern your priorities and realign your creative plan with God's plan.
Whether you’re a mom, teacher, student, artist, or a dreamer—this one’s for you. Because your work, when surrendered to God, does matter. He sees you. He’s not finished with you. And His way? Always better!
Reflection Questions:
Am I creating for God’s glory or my own?
Do I trust God enough to surrender my timelines, goals, and expectations to Him?
What do I need to lay at Jesus’ feet today?
Mentioned in this Episode:
Elisabeth Elliot’s words: “Trust and Obey.”
The power of creative rest and trusting God’s timing.
Encouragement for those waiting on job doors to open or clarity to come.
Takeaway Quote:
"When we walk by faith, we surrender our view and trust God's. His ways are always higher. Always better."
