"However, 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—these
are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit
searches all things, even the deep things of God." (I Corinthians 2:9,10
NIV)
When we run into people who say our faith
in God is pointless, what do we do? Do we argue to no avail or do we
simply stand firm on The Word?
When they
say there is no God, we don't have to argue the point, but remember this
passage of Scripture. For those who say our existence is all about
science, they have forgotten that God speaks to the heart of all who
listen and even some of the scientists admit they don't have an
explanation for everything. Now, here's the beauty of what some of them
have come to realize--science does not create--it attempts
to explain that which already exists and in some
instances--scientists will develop something from that which already
existed. Development is not creation. This is not to
undermine what scientists do, but to point out that the scientists would
have nothing to develop if
God had not already created--all that was
created.
Have we seen all of God's Wisdom
implemented in the earth? No, not yet. Will we ever? That depends upon
us and how well we listen when He speaks. The deeper things this passage references have not been seen or heard of, but are yet to come.
Out
of this passage of scripture, we get two things--hope and
encouragement. No matter how bad things may appear, we haven't seen the
end of the matter because God is yet speaking, by His Spirit, to all who
will hear. We are encouraged by The Word, knowing that there
are still things we have not even thought about that will come to pass
on our behalf. God knows what we need and He knows our heart's
desires. When we please Him, He responds by giving us the desires of our
hearts.
Though it may not look like He is
listening, He hears. Though it may not look like He is working on our
behalf, He is. Remember this, we have not heard or seen all of the good
things He has in store for us, but they will come and when we see them
and hear them, we'll know--it was all Him.
Don't
despair over what the naysayers have to say and don't listen to the
voices of those spirits who despise Him. Our God is awesome and He is
more than enough! When He speaks to others by His Spirit, things begin to change for our good!
