The sonnet reflects on the biblical verse from Isaiah 55:8-9, emphasizing the vast difference between God’s divine wisdom and human understanding. It portrays God’s thoughts and ways as far superior, like stars or heavens beyond earthly reach. While human plans are limited, God’s purposes unfold perfectly through time and mystery. The poem acknowledges life’s challenges and human limitations but affirms trust in God’s guiding love and grace, which lead believers back to Him despite uncertainties.

Above the earth, as heavens stretch afar,
God’s thoughts transcend the limits of our mind.
His ways, like stars, outshine the thoughts we find,
A wisdom vast, no mortal can unbar.
Our plans, though bold, are bound by what we know,
Yet His designs unfold in sacred time.
Through trials deep, His purpose climbs sublime,
In mysteries where faith alone may go.
When shadows fall and human sight grows dim,
His higher path still leads to perfect grace.
Though we may stray, His love will not erase,
For every step is guided back to Him.
O Lord, Your ways, so high, we cannot trace,
Yet trust Your heart to light our earthly place.
