Beyond Compare!

but just as it is written [in Scripture], “T hings which the eye has not seen and the ear has not heard , And which have not entered the heart of man, All that God has prepared for those who love Him [who hold Him in affectionate reverence, who obey Him, and who gratefully recognize the benefits that He has bestowed].” 1 CORINTHIANS 2:9 AMP

Only in God do you find new, undiscovered potential. Life and nature have amazing treasures, with most of them still untapped and undiscovered. As life progresses, some of these treasures are unearthed and applied to life. We have moved from walking on foot to travelling by air, yet it appears from today's extract that we still haven't scratched the surface.

Today's extract seems to mean that whatever you think you have seen so far, heard or experienced in life so far, is nothing compared to what God has in store for us. God has been from before time began, and he has been at work ever before then. It then means that the full picture of his whole plan cannot be viewed by one generation or lifetime. You can only tap into the divine and access the knowledge, insight, direction and impact that God intends for you and your generation. He is always at work, building lives, changing destinies and planting eternity in the hearts of men.

One small caution though: it appears that the full picture can only be fully experienced by those who have found space in their hearts for God's love alone, and nothing/nobody else. When you believe in someone totally, you take him at his word and trust absolutely in him. If there is no trust, there is no absolute devotion. I ask myself: do I truly love God alone, or have I conveniently found room space for various allegiances?

Today's promise is for those who love God. Do i? Does he hold my heart exclusively? His time of favour is here.
