Nothing Imagined

Mr. Bill and I just returned from a short stay in the mountains, a gift from our children.  The trip itself was relaxing and refreshing, however, searching out the best place to stay was anything but.  I looked at so many places for so long, I began to forget which ones were where!

How good is your imagination?  If you consider the countless things invented by men, we must agree man’s imagination [in general] is pretty good.  The water sprinkler, fly swatter, picture frame, paper clip, mechanical pencil [to name a few] all were “imagined” by someone then came the design and development.  As good as man’s imagination may seem, there remains things yet unimagined (out of man’s eye, ear, mind, and heart).  Isaiah wrote, “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)  Paul echoed, “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)  Certainly, there are unimaginable eternal riches to come, however, there are incredible spiritual treasures in this life for Believers who love God, which are revealed through the Gospel of Christ and genuine growth in His grace.  How else can we [Christians] explain our hope in hopelessness, peace in crisis, joy in sorrow, strength in weakness, calmness in fearfulness?  Because “… God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit.” (2:10a)  Looking at room accommodations on websites can be misleading with camera angles, lighting, etc.  Those pictures often leave much to the imagination!  There’s nothing misleading or confusing when The Spirit of Almighty God lovingly reveals the secrets and mysteries of our faith.  His revelations are completely trustworthy and absolutely on-target! Let me encourage you to seek Him and know Him; He leaves nothing to the imagination!
