For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him. | ||
| Isaiah 64:4 | ||
| As Isaiah is praying, he says, “Lord, we don’t even know the amazing things You have ahead for us.” Paul would echo this same thought . . . But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 1 Corinthians 2:9 If you’re living for your job, your bank account, your possessions, or even your family, you’ll miss out on the life God has for you both now and eternally. But if, like Isaiah and Paul, you set your heart on Heaven, you’ll have abundant life on earth thrown in! If, like Isaiah, we would just say, “Lord, we are looking and waiting for that which You have in store for us in Heaven,” you’ll not only end up there, but you’ll enjoy life as well. If you’re living for your job or your bank account or your possessions, you’ll miss both. Why doesn’t God speak more to us about Heaven? Because we couldn’t comprehend it. Pastor Jon Courson | ||
