No Eye Has Seen

"No Eye has Seen" 

When problems crop up, we can have the silliest notion that we can solve the aforesaid problem on our own.  Many of us have a self-proclaimed title of ‘problem solver’ invisibly stamped across our foreheads. So, when people come to us, we mistakenly assume we can ‘fix’ the problem.  When the truth of the matter is; we don’t have a clue!

The church people in Corinth were dealing with some problems within the church. But because they thought they knew better; they chose to trust worldly intelligence above Trusting in the Word of God. So, Paul, through the guidance of The Lord, taught them a different method. He taught the people that God’s wisdom can be found through His Word and by the guidance of The Holy Spirit. He encouraged this church to look to The Cross for all The Wisdom that is needed. We can’t understand in our flesh what God has revealed through Jesus Christ. “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and neither has it entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for them that love Him. *1 Corinthians 2:9. True wisdom can only come through a revelation from the Holy Spirit. His Spirit searches our hearts and shows us the deepest mysteries and secrets of God. It’s kind of like that song, “Looking for love in all the wrong places”. We tend to do that in our spiritual walk as well. We are looking for answers in all the wrong places. We can't fathom the fullness of His Grace and Promises. Therefore, we tend to search elsewhere. We tend to trust our own gut reactions.  The words that Paul used were not his own. They came from Isaiah 64:4 and he reminded the people of Corinth and us as well, that only when we grow closer to The Lord, only when we spiritually mature can we even slightly grasp those mysteries of God. It’s a growth process. Getting past ourselves, and finally able to recognize that HE is The One in Control. NO need to get frustrated. No need to get scared. No need to be anxious. Because those of us who have accepted Jesus Christ into our hearts have been given a Promise. And we cannot even comprehend what God has in store for us that Love Him.

Hide It Under a Bushel? NO!

   Scripture For The Day  December 19, 2023 Luke 19 part 1 "Hide It Under a Bushel? NO!"  And Jesus passed through Jericho. Jericho had a lot of history, even at that time. It was a major trading center and there was a wealthy tax collector named Zaccheus who lived and worked there. He heard about Jesus and decided to see for himself. But he was a short man and there were a lot of people traveling with Jesus and a huge crowd lining the street waiting to see Jesus pass by. Less than 15 miles away, Jesus had just raised Lazarus from the dead. He was a rockstar. So, Zaccheus ran up ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Jesus. As soon as Jesus got to the tree, He looked up and said “Zaccheus, make haste, and come down; for today I must abide at thy house.” I bet y’all are singing the song right now…I was. 😊 The crowd began to murmur. How could Jesus eat with a sinner like this dishonest tax collector? Zaccheus was so overwhelmed with the love of Jesus that he

He Restores My Soul

Scripture For The Day    November 14, 2023 "He Restores My Soul"  Psalm 23- Most of us know this beloved Psalm. The LORD is our Shepherd and we who believe are His Sheep. However in recent years, the label of ‘sheep’ has become a derogatory term. I don’t care. I am so very thankful that I am part of His flock. So, Baa Baa baby. Call me a sheep. I know that I matter to Him just as much as the other sheep in His flock. No more, no less. In His Word, His people are never described as lions. But as meek and dependent sheep that depend upon a Shepherd. I’ll take that any day. Because it’s The Truth. I learned this passage when I was a little girl. But no one took the time to teach me what it meant. So, I was always confused by the first verse” “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.” Why? I would ask The LORD? Why can’t I ‘want’ You? I Love You and I do ‘want’ You to be with me. It wasn’t until I was much older and studying on my own that I discovered the word ‘want” meant

Aijeleth Shahar

  Scripture For The Day  November 13 th , 2023 "Aijeleth Shahar"  Psalm 22 has David assigning this song to the director of the corporate worship stating it is to be sung or chanted by “Aijeleth Shahar” translated means by the hind of the dawn or “The Deer of The Dawn”. Made me think of how sometimes there are little songs for kids to learn and they often use the tune of “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” for them to learn them better. Psalm 22 is a cry of anguish and as per usual a song of Praise. And by the very first verse, we can read words that Jesus Christ, Himself, spoke on The Cross. Jesus often quoted scriptures.  “My God, My God, why hast Thou Forsaken Me? (why art thou so) far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?” You have no idea how deeply this verse spoke to me today. I woke up early this morning thinking of the word Forsake. So, as I type I am asking The LORD, “What are you bringing to my heart today?” to forsake means to abandon or turn against. Mak
