This morning, I read 1 Corinthians 2. It's a really interesting chapter written by the Apostle Paul to the church in Corinth (a city at that time fraught with corruption (sound familiar?)).
Anyway, as I was reading the study note for 1 Corinthians 2:9, it hit me. Now don't laugh at me. Here's what the study note writers wrote:
Study Note 2:9 [My comments in brackets...]
We cannot imagine all that God has in store for us, both in this life and for eternity. He will create a new heaven and a new earth (Isaiah 65:17...[yes, 17]; Revelation 21:1), and we will live with him forever. Until then, his Holy Spirit [Of Truth] comforts and guides us. Knowing the wonderful and eternal future that awaits us gives us hope and courage to press on in this life, to endure hardship, and to avoid giving in to temptation. This world is not all there is. The best is yet to come.
Here is the scripture 1 Corinthians 2:9, as I read it from the NIV Bible my Mom gave to me June 22, 2004 (17, yes 17, years ago):
9However, as it is written:
“What no eye has seen,
what no ear has heard,
and what no human mind has conceived”—
the things God has prepared for those who love him—

This made my day.
I hope your day is Blessed also.
The Lord provides.
His will is perfect.
He never fails.
I'm glad you mentioned Psalm 37.
Wowee. It sure is. I bookmarked it. Thanks for the blessing.
That's really good.
Here's one for you. https://youtu.be/ozCDBbdDcWg
Bless you for posting this. I am going to read this ASAP. You just made my day also.
Beautiful scripture
Because God wins, so do his children. Thank you Lord Jesus Christ for saving us and helping guide us through this life. Without you, we have nothing. ?
Amen.
AMEN! 🙏
I'm a God fearing man. Not well versed in the bible. But reading threads like this gives me hope knowing there are still spiritual people out there and that the Word of God truly has the answers. Thank you OP for posting this.
Amen!
my heart skipped a beat. I was thinking about undine yesterday and wishing she could have been with all of us right now. Then I realized, she is in an all knowing peaceful place and will know with us from heaven.
Biblical hopium, the best kind! Thank you.
Thank you for sharing that lovely and powerful message! You have brightened my day and recharged me.
Amen. (So be it!). The wicked will be destroyed and the righteous shall prosper. What a blessing the Word of God is.
Thank you!!
I was praying about finances and needing to buy a special car with disability accommodations. I kept praying and then found $1000 and used it to get involved with Bitcoin mining. I decided to shut my mining down on Sundays and that very next Monday I didn’t just find $1000, I randomly found a lot more and now we have enough to buy this car without a loan. A few weeks later we went shopping and found a nice Ford Transit already converted and at a really good price. The dealer kept saying how these don’t go fast and will be there in a month. We called our nearest Ford dealer for other options and it shocked us, nothing at all near us. We called the first dealer back and put it on hold.
Thanks for posting!
God is good...all the time.
If any of you think you have it bad, read the book of JOB. (very short)
He was one of God's most honest and loyal followers.
In spite of massive hardship that was allowed to happen to him (nothing you could imagine in this life) Job remained faithful, and God ultimately rewarded him many many times over. Truly remarkable message.

When it was over God doubled back what job had lost.
It has a scene in ear has heard? And with no human mind has conceived? All the things God has prepared for those who love him?
How about the next verse for a kicker
For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. ……………. Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God.
Hey folks! It’s time to ask the Lord I want to KNOW what those things are, then whatever he says do it.
Thanks for adding your comment for context. That's why I linked to the whole chapter. Was a great read this morning. I agree about having conversations with GOD and prayer. He reveals so much more of the meaning to you personally when your Bible read is accompanied by conversation and prayer. At least that has been my experience.
Coincidentally, my church is focusing its entire summer's lessons on Corinthians.
Haven't you heard? There's no such thing as coincidence. <grin>

Thank you for your heartfelt post u/Q20191776!
I love that you shared the Godwink from your Bible study and the gift of your Bible from your Mom 17 years ago!!
God's timing is Perfect!
Hopefully they focus on chapters 12 thru 14. Speak in tongues much and operate ALL nine manifestations of the holy spirit. That is the believers power base. Don't let them read over it without helping all to manifest tongues. It says clearly to never forbid speaking in tongues.
Amen!! Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you.
Thank you ??
Thank you. This scripture is such a comfort. ?
Yet to come but not from an earthly election. Jesus Christ the Savior is coming back and it could be at any moment. Trump is just a man who who may if he chooses no other God but the Lord God the Father of Jesus Christ get us a generation of peace and prosperity. Some.one we can pray for so we can lead a quiet and peaceable life in all Godliness amd honesty.
Thank you. Blessings, Fren!
Thank you. That is so comforting.
Love This!!!!❤️❤️❤️👏
