Contemplative Bible Reading

1 Corinthians 2:9 (New Living Translation)

That is what the Scriptures mean when they say,
“No eye has seen, no ear has heard,
and no mind has imagined
what God has prepared
for those who love him.”

The writer here quotes from the prophet Isaiah. God and His blessings are beyond our imagination. I remember some line from the first Star Wars movie where Han Solo says something like, “I can imagine a lot.” I, too, can imagine a lot. Still, I’m neither that smart or that imaginative.

Oh, the wonder of what God has in store for me. Oh, the blessings of what God gives me this and every day. God, help me to open my heart and notice the blessings of each day.
