Revelation

"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. (1Corinthians 2:9-10 NKJ)

The Adirondack Mountains overflowing with color in the Fall. Gulf Shores’ beaches glistening in the sun. Snow on the peaks of the Rockies in summer. Apple trees in full bloom. Golden wheat swaying in the wind. Pumpkins in green fields as far as the eye can see. The most beautiful diva out of Hollywood or anywhere else. Yet we haven’t seen any beauty to compare with the revelations from God.

The songs of the early morning birds. The music of Mozart, Elvis, Ronnie Milsap, and the church choir. The chatter of the chipmunk. The quiet of the midnight. The awakening sounds of a new day. The roar of crashing waves. The booming of thunder. The whisper of the wind in the afternoon. Wonderful sounds, but we haven’t heard anything to compare with the revelations from God.

Your wildest imagination. My wildest imagination. Dreams that cover the earth. Big ideas that would bless the Church and mankind. Yet our intellect can neither fathom nor conceive anything to compare with the revelations from God.

For those who love God, he has prepared some things that are beyond human imagination. Yet, Paul said, "God has revealed them to us through his Spirit" because the Holy Spirit searches the mind of God and understands the depths of God. The Apostle's point is this: To understand what God has prepared for his people requires Holy Spirit revelation. He reveals Christ as Savior and Lord, the hope eternal life, and joy that only the redeemed can understand. He reveals these for all those who love him. Aren’t you glad that you do?

Dear Father, thank you for revealing more of yourself to us. Enable us to walk in the Spirit that he may reveal you even more clearly to us. I pray this in the name of Jesus. AMEN

Today, allow the Holy Spirit to reveal God to you,
