DESCRIPTION

A.W. Tozer emphasizes that in any disagreement between God and man, God
is always right, and man is always wrong. He asserts that the only way
for a person to be correct is to align their thoughts with God's, as
human thoughts are often vain and misguided. Tozer identifies four key
areas where human understanding diverges from divine wisdom, starting
with our thoughts, highlighting Isaiah's declaration that God's thoughts
and ways are infinitely higher than ours. This sermon calls for humility
and a willingness to embrace God's perspective in order to find true
righteousness.

Whenever and wherever there is a controversy between God and a man, God
is always right and the man always wrong. "So that you may be proved
right in your words and prevail in your judging" (Psalm 51:4).

The only way any man can be right is to come over onto God's side.
Whoever sticks to his own side is forever wrong.

The points at which God's way and man's intersect are likely to be four
(though there may be others), and we will usually find our differences
with God to occur somewhere in these four areas.

First, our thoughts. Divine inspiration has declared that the thoughts
of man are vain, and in the prophecy of Isaiah, God sets His case before
us so plainly that comment is hardly necessary: "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" (Isaiah 55:8-9).
