Sept 24                                                                    The Power of God’s Word
No eye has seen, no ear has heard; and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him. -1 Corinthians 2:9 (NLT)
FOR THOSE WHO LOVE GOD
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you know what’s in store for those who love God?
Seek him with all your heart; you’ll be at peace and be glad
No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has envisioned
Faithful believers will be taken cared off for all seasons.
No one can know the Lord’s thoughts unless the Spirit reveals
Human wisdom can never totally comprehend God’s will
Only God’s Spirit can help you evaluate all things
Without him, there will be confusion and chaos in everything.
I used to feed my mind with logic and reasoning. In fact, I even taught high school students the foundations of Logic and Public Speaking. The art of Persuasion was something that I enjoyed. I didn’t realize until the Holy Spirit revealed to me that it wasn’t the way of God but it was the world’s system.
Scripture says that there is no one who can fathom the mind of God. No eye has seen, no ear has heard and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him. Only the spiritual can understand what the Spirit reveals to them.
PRAYER
Lord, protect me from human reasoning.
REFLECTION
Why is it important not to rely much on human wisdom?
