A Wisp of Glory

1 Corinthians 2:9-10 However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him" - but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.

The verse quoted from Isaiah is pretty magnificent.  We have no clue what God has in store for us, either on earth or in heaven.  We try to grasp at this but it is a mere wisp of the glory that awaits us.  This is a good reminder for me to be attuned to the Spirit in my life.  To slow down the day and pay attention to where He is moving and what He is saying through those around me, including my circumstance.  I am aware that God has plans and most of them are in place to grow me to a depth where the "still waters run deep".  A prayer for wisdom is appropriate on this day, along with a prayer for a glimpse of His vision.

Channels Only

2 Corinthians 4:7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. Our treasure is the Spirit of God and the jar of clay is our earthly body.  In this section of scripture Paul is explaining to the people of Corinth that they are a channel for God to shine through and that through Jesus we will never be separated from God again.  At the hospice house, Liz, my sister, sat down and played Channels Only on the piano.  This is a song that has deep and lasting meaning for my family, but today I instantly thought of my mother lying in the bed in the next room and felt the truth in the words of that song.  Tears began to stream as I recognized to the fullest extent what it means to be a channel for God.  It is my prayer. Channels Only by Mary E. Maxwell How I praise Thee, precious Savior, That Thy love laid hold of me; Thou hast saved and cleansed and filled me  That I might Thy channel be. ...
