1 Corinthians 2:9 That is what the scriptures mean when they say, “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.”
Our daughter gave us some Guernsey double chocolate biscuits just recently and they are just sooooo yummy, the best I’ve ever tasted. In fact all the others pale into insignificance by comparison!
As I was thinking about that it’s like God said “My goodness is like that. What you have seen before will also pale into insignificance compared to the goodness I have prepared for my children in the days to come.”
Wow! I receive that and hope you do too. It ties in with yesterday and the ‘new thing’ God is unfolding for us. Jesus taught us that as we believe so we will receive. We have to choose to believe His word or not.
The whole Gospel of Jesus - when He bled and died for our sakes, taking our punishment so we can be free and totally reconciled to God our Father, can seem almost too good to be true, but nevertheless we know and have believed it is true for each one of us personally. Praise God.
Now everything He says to us should be so easy to believe after that, don’t you think? We’ve believed the most important part, now let’s believe for all the rest of His promises that come with it.
Just lately we’ve been looking at bringing in harvests, expecting good things from God, His commanded blessings being poured out on us, which is all great, if we remember to take it personally and not think it’s for somebody else. All God’s promises are for all of us, yes and amen in Jesus Christ.😊
And the further good news is that even though we know none of us deserves anything, we also know it’s just the wonderful goodness of God to give all of it to us. God has chosen to bless us, not because of anything we’ve done but because of what Jesus has done. Thank You Lord!
Lord I pray You will help each of us believe and receive with a grateful heart, every good thing You have already prepared and promised to us, and believe for them to show up in our lives. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Psalm 136:1 O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever.
