No Eye Has Seen, Nor Ear Has Heard, And No Mind Has Imagined
What God
Has Prepared For Those Who Love Him


Scripture

1 Corinthians 2

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.”


Observation

Becoming weary and wanting to give up is so very easy in a life that is so hard and difficult and it why we read about so many tragedies everyday in the morning news.

It is also why we need to start each day in God’s Word so that we can have God’s perspective on life and especially so we can be reminded that we are on the winning team!

Perspective is everything! God’s Word helps us and inspires us when everything and everyone else puts us down and makes us want to quit and give up. 

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne. Think of all the hostility he endured from sinful people; then you won’t become weary and give up.” Hebrews 12:1-3

 You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross. Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:5-11

Application

I will persevere and plug on! How about you?

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You for giving us Your Word. It gives me everything that I need to live the Christian life. I don’t lack anything. You are Mighty God. You have me in the Palm of Your Mighty right hand! You give me hope and You give me a bright future. I will hold on tightly to all of Your promises!

I pray for anyone that is reading this blog today that is ready to give up. Give them strength Lord. Help them to dig into Your Word and help them to hold on tightly to every one of Your Promises.
