Eye has not seen

But as it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him." - 1 Corinthians 2v9

I love this verse. There is some debate about whether “the things God has prepared” is for here, or heaven, or both. To be a little bit plain this morning, I really don’t care when this is going to be fulfilled, for me it is enough to give me hope that that God has prepared something for us that our eyes haven’t seen, our ears haven’t heard, and our hearts haven’t understood.

How do we make it through those dark and troublesome days? What do we do when we can’t see the glimmer? It is passages like this that should always encourage us. We look beyond the present things that we can see the things that God has prepared for us in this life and beyond.

God has so much in store for us that we can’t even “get it.” These are thoughts that strengthen us in the midst of the “foolishness of the world” all around us.
