"But we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God predestined before the ages to our glory . . .. Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard, and which have not entered the heart of man, all that God has prepared for those who love him." I Corinthians 2:7, 9.
We enjoy little mysteries, the anticipation of new experiences--a birthday party, a trip to some new spot, a visit from an old friend. Well, the God who made us realizes this, and the Scriptures tell us that he has surprises we can never imagine! The verses above tell us not to waste time time trying to imagine because his mysteries are beyond anything we have ever seen or heard!
We enjoy our present relationship with God, the prayer time, the new things he shows us in his Word, the surprises he has in store for us each day. But what we know now is nothing compared to what we'll know when this phase of life is over, and we see him face to face! We cannot imagine light coming directly from him. We can't contemplate no more wondering, just clear understanding of life's mysteries.
The knowledge and wisdom of God are beyond us, and he understands that, but he promises someday we'll know his secrets. Christ has given us much, but there is much more to come?
Father, your mysteries are like presents under the Christmas tree, and we thank you for each revelation. Amen.
