Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2: 9-12

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him?  even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.  Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

Scripture Commentary: God has prepared a wonderful and eternal future for his children

We cannot imagine all that God has in store for us, both in this life and for eternity. God’s “secret wisdom, that has been hidden” was his offer of salvation to all people when Jesus rose from the dead.

His resurrection proved that he had power over sin and death. He will create a new heaven and a new earth and we will live with him forever. Until then, his Holy Spirit 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 Satan’s temptations. Those who believe in Christ’s death and resurrection and put their faith in him will know all they need to know to be saved. This knowledge, however, can’t be grasped by even the wisest people unless they accept God’s message.

This world is not all there is. All who reject God’s message are foolish, no matter how wise the world thinks they are.

The best is yet to come.
