PROMISE #148 - MAY 28
Promise #148:
I have prepared amazing things for those who love Me.
1 Corinthians 2:9 (WEB)
But as it is written,
“Things which an eye didn’t see, and an ear didn’t hear,
which didn’t enter into the heart of man,
these God has prepared for those who love him.”
When my wife and I host a birthday party or special event for our loved ones, a lot of preparation goes into planning beforehand. The meal, the decorations, the dessert, and the gift are all given careful consideration because we want everything to be perfect. There is always a sense of excitement and anticipation as the big day approaches and we count down to the celebration. I wonder if this is how God feels when He is preparing for us?
1 Corinthians 2:9 says that even in our wildest imagination, we can't possibly fathom the amazing things that God has prepared for us. Verse 10 goes on to say that even though we can't grasp these incredible things on our own, God has chosen to reveal them to us by His Spirit.
My prayer today is that each one of us asks the Holy Spirit to reveal more of the amazing things of the kingdom that our God and Father has prepared for us. May the Spirit of God empower us today to grasp how deep, how wide, how long, and how high is His love for us in Jesus so that we might be filled to the full measure of the fullness of God. (Ephesians 3:14-19)
Ephesians 3:20-21
20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. (NIV)

Responsive Prayer:
Father, thank you for preparing an eternal banquet of spectacular things that are beyond my ability to even imagine. May my heart be filled with joy today as I ask your Holy Spirit to reveal to me a greater understanding of your love for me that surpasses even my wildest dreams. I position my heart today, Father, to receive a greater impartation of your goodness, which is mine in Christ, than I have ever experienced before.
In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
I have prepared amazing things for those who love Me.
