…these are the issues God has ready for many who love him. (1 Corinthians 2:9)

This morning I awakened wanting to jot down, some ideas that had been operating by my thoughts all night time might not wait to return out and be expressed. So following I sat down on the desk with my cup of espresso, I used to be prepared to begin. Apart from one factor. That little voice inside me (which I’ve come to acknowledge because the Lord’s) mentioned, “Cease proper there” (typically the Lord sounds somewhat nagging to me). Search me first and every thing else will come to you. (My model of Matthew 6:33.)

I stepped once more, put a lid on my pleasure, and went to the Lord in prayer. Proper now, as I write in regards to the expertise, nice disappointment is felt and a few tears fall inside me which might be uncontrollable. Why? As a result of my love for the Lord is nice. My intention is to serve and honor Him. I acknowledge His blessing and provision for my life. He’s good.

Then as daybreak breaks, the Lord’s message for us emerges in our passage at present: He loves us much more than we may probably love Him!

Too typically I’ve heard at present’s passage taught as if it solely associated to our future inheritance – what awaits us in eternity. I’d counsel that we take it a step additional: “the issues that God has ready” are usually not restricted to these we’ll expertise as future residents of the Kingdom of God, but in addition embrace the blessings we possess proper now.

It’s all regarding love. Our love for Him and His love for us. After we have a look at Him and our lives by the lens of affection, our perspective adjustments. We all know that God is nice and desires to offer what’s greatest for us. (1 Peter 5:7: “Solid all of your nervousness on Him, for He cares for you.”) Is there one thing in your life that doesn’t appear to be understanding in accordance with Your life plan? Do you belief the Lord? Will you yield to His will and knowledge?
