-Strength for Today- "Eye Hath not Seen, nor Hath Ear Heard. - Isaiah 64:4.
Over the last twenty-one years, I've traveled, along with our men’s group, and we’ve seen much of:
- Canada,
- The United States,
- The Caribbean's,
- Mexico and
- Central America.
Even with all the beauty of their cultural beauty display, in those I'm convinced that nothing or no place on this earth can compare to what God has in store for us! Because God has revealed in His Word that He has prepared amazing and wonderful things for those that love and trust Him. Indeed, the Lord Jesus Himself said that He was going to prepare a place for us in His Father's house, but we don't know all the wonderful things being prepared for us.
Sadly, many try to describe the mind of God by using their limited knowledge of who God actually is. And to this foolery, God’s Word says, “O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out” - Romans 11:33?
Our blessed hope is in Jesus Christ, and God in His grace chose to give incredible details about His redemption through His written truth. That’s why we should be on guard, when it comes to trying to reach inside the “limitless” mind of God, in an attempt to discover elements of our future, which only God can know. It’s through His wisdom that He has chosen to keep His divine thought as a mystery.
Because as it is written in Isaiah 64:4, “For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what He hath prepared for him that waiting for Him” - and as it is confirmed by Paul in his letter to the Corinthians, “... Eye hath not seen, nor Ear heard, Neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him” - 1 Corinthians 2:9.
