"But as it is written: 'Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have enter-
ed into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.' "
Paul (above) is quoting Isa. 64:4 and other OT texts. In the very next verse (1 Cor. 2:10) the apostle states that God *has* (past tense) re-
vealed these great blessings to the church, "through the Spirit." This is neat, because we do not have to wait for heaven in order to enjoy all of God's *best* things. In fact, if we do not taste heaven *now*, in Christ, we will never be part of it later (in full glory).
What has God "prepared for [you]"--churchmen who "love Him," by grace? Everything great; and many things about which you could never have imagined. Take pleasure in the Lord today; and anticipate His continued blessings of you, in Jesus.
