God's Wisdom

⁶ However, I speak a wisdom to those who are mature. But this wisdom is not from this world or from the rulers of this world, who are losing their power.⁷ I speak God's secret wisdom, which he has kept hidden. Before the world began, God planned this wisdom for our glory.⁸ None of the rulers of this world understood it. If they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. ⁹ But as it is written in the Scriptures:
"No one has ever seen this,
And no one has ever heard about it.
No one has ever imagined
What God has prepared for those who love him." — Isaiah 64:4

¹⁰ But God has shown us these things through the Spirit.

The Spirit searches out all things, even the deep secrets of God.

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, I thank You for D.L. Moody and for countless others who’ve answered Your calling in their lives. They chose to do Your will and because of their obedience our lives have been spiritually enriched. Above all, I thank You for Jesus who chose to do Your will; who left the sinless portals of heaven to make His home among us so that we might see You clothed in flesh. We want to hold loosely to this temporal passing world and direct our affections toward the eternal dwelling place as we seek to be among those who choose to do the will of the Lord and abide forever. Amen.

I WISH YOU ENOUGH---
