five days with Paul {day four}

Welcome to Thursday!

I hope that your week is going well.

Today's Bible reading comes from one of Paul's letters to the church members in Corinth. Are you ready? Here we go...

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.”

 But it was to us that God revealed these things by his Spirit. For his Spirit searches out everything and shows us God’s deep secrets.                                                                   ~1 Corinthians 2:9-10

I know that we may not always understand why things happen the way they do. We struggle in our limited humanity to grasp why this or that might occur, and we may sometimes get to thinking that we can comprehend it all. God's words through Paul help to remind us that anything spiritual that we understand comes from God. His Spirit gives us insight and perspective into God Himself. His Spirit reflects and illuminates God to us. Without God's Spirit is us, we would never even begin to know God or see where He's working. 

And oh what God is planning for you and for me...we can't even start to grasp it. The Bible assures us that no eye...no one on earth...can begin to comprehend what God has planned for those who love him. 

Situations might try to get you down today. Worry might try to creep in and steal your peace. When they do, hold tight to today's Scripture. God has something amazing (beyond our understanding!) planned for you, and His Spirit will reveal what you need to know when you need to know it. Hang in there. God has incredible adventures in mind for you.

Many blessings,
Deni
