As the Heavens Are Higher
by Courtenay Burden
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.” – Isaiah 55:9
Adelaide Westall had always believed that God’s ways were higher than earthly ways. She had just always imagined that God’s plan and her plan would have some similarities. A family of penniless orphans facing a hopeless future in a factory city—a heartbroken noblewoman shut up inside a forbidding fortress of grief and reserve—and a mysterious painting of a calm-faced pilgrim were all destined to challenge Adelaide’s faith in unexpected ways. Only God could orchestrate a plan high enough to reach them all.
Set amongst the rolling hills of the English border country, this story of Victorian life is a poignant reminder that we serve a God who brings light out of darkness, who works good out of evil, whose ways are higher than our ways—as the heavens are higher than the earth.
A Bit of Trivia
February 14th happens to fall in a significant chapter of As the Heavens Are Higher. February 14th, 1854 happened to be a Tuesday—the Tuesday of the middle week of February, to be exact.
The storm in Chapter 25 that kept Adelaide and her mother at Highbank Castle took place “one afternoon, toward the middle of February.” Exactly which day of the week was it? That is something the author, even after revised timeline notes, can’t confirm. Sometimes a narrative likes to be vague!
But whichever day it was, “this day in history” certainly fell somewhere in Chapter 25 or 26, which span from late January to mid February, 1854.
