"All of the heavens in awe at Your mercy..."
From the song, "All You Have Given," by David Willersdorf
"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)
God often does things that no mind in heaven or earth could prepare for. His love, mercy and wisdom lead Him to do things that no one could contemplate or imagine ahead of time.
Jesus stepped out of the glory of heaven and took on the form of a human being (Philippians 2:7). Can you imagine what would have been happening amongst the ranks of heaven at that point? Apart from the Trinity, no one could possibly have foreseen what Jesus had intended to do. That "yet while we were sinners, Jesus died for us!" (Romans 5:8).
No one could have planned for or anticipated what Jesus did.
The enemy could not grasp what Jesus' heart was leading Him to do. Jesus was going to rescue humanity! And even as He hung dead on the cross, the truth had not been understood (Colossians 2:15). It was only as the tomb lay empty that the realisation began to dawn - Jesus had become the risen sacrifice that no one had expected.
I believe that no one can anticipate what great deeds God will continue to do on your behalf (1 Corinthians 2:9). No one can predict the fullness of what is heading your way from God's heart. His love and wisdom always lead Him to lavish us in ways that no one could prepare for. You are the object of His love!
