Today God says:
"No one has seen or heard all that I have prepared for you".
He promises me:
"Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor has it entered the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for those that love Him. But God has revealed them to us by His Spirit". (1 Cor. 2:9)
My response to the word:
As I contemplate this Scripture, I realize that God has already prepared so many wonderful things for me. By His Spirit He continuously reveals these deeper things to me. Indeed, He has already blessed me with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places in Christ. I will walk in His blessings throughout this day.
My prayer:
Father in heaven, thank you for all that you have prepared for me. I realize that I know only a small part of this at present, but I trust you to continue to reveal the truth to me. I love you, Lord.
Today's scriptures:
"Don't be troubled. Believe in God, and believe in Me. My Father's house has many rooms. If that were not true, would I have told you that I'm going to prepare a place for you? If I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again. Then I will bring you into My presence so that you will be where I am". (John 14:1-3 GW) "Through Christ, God has blessed us with every spiritual blessing that heaven has to offer". (Eph. 1:3 GW) "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, who is, and who is coming". (Rev. 4:8 GW)
Quote for today:
