Must God Subscribe to Logic?

So, I had a former friend of mine use a Bible verse in Isaiah 55:8 to argue that logic alone is not enough to discover/find/think about God. It reads "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD."

Based on this passage he suggests that our set of reasoning is not the same as God's - that God has a logical system far superior to any that we could know. Of course, that cannot be known. But here is my question: could God give us a wrong set of logic, without the capacity to find him, and still be just in requiring us to find him? How would you debate his argument?
