"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. But God has revealed them to us through His spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so, no one know the things of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. " I Corinthians 2:9-12
Do you ever dream of knowing what God has for you on this earth and in the eternal realm? Do you ever hunger to know Him in the deepest parts- to know His heart, His will, and His thoughts? The scripture above tell us that no one has seen or heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who LOVE him. I used to think that this verse applied to everyone and that no one was meant to know certain aspects of God, but then realized I was wrong. The verse continues, "But God has revealed them to us through His spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes the deep things of God." It continues by telling us the purpose, "that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God." I've come to realize that it is not God's will to keep us in the dark about himself and the "deep things" that pertain to Him- in the now and in the eternal realm. The only requirement to receive the deep things of God is to walk in the spiritual and not the carnal (v. 14). This can be very difficult with the demands of life, but I believe there is also a hunger like never before to know God in his power and depth. This year, like never before, I want to tap into the secrets of God, into his reservoir of spiritual wealth. He is pushing us like never before to seek, to knock, to ask. The treasures of life and His amazing ways are at our fingertips, if we will demonstrate a willingness to find them. Let this be a year of discovering greater dimensions of God like never before!
Love and blessings,
April
