“How does a whole book get inside my Kindle while I’m just sitting here?” my mother asked me. I wanted to to tell her exactly what she wanted to know, but I was as puzzled as she was, so I laughed, and said, “It’s a miracle of modern technology, Mom.”

When I think of how fast the “ miracles of technology” have changed all of our lives, I’m reminded of Paul’s words: “No eye has seen, no ear heard ,nor human heart conceived, what God has prepared for those who love Him.”

( I Corinthians 2:9) And long before Paul, Isaiah saw this truth about God: “Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him. (Isaiah 64:4)

Our world is full of things the eye sees and the ear hears that are briefly amazing to us, like the GPS, the back-up cameras in our cars, self parking, not to mention self driving cars, robots and phones that are companions, and even a Kindle than allows us to carry an entire library with us. All these and countless more feed the illusion of utter self sufficiency in us.

The things that human beings have never heard or seen have to do with the Person of God Himself. Though God reveals Himself in His book, His prophet and Apostle both declare that there is much, much more that awaits those who “wait for Him “in love. The things of God are eternal and internal to the human spirit. They are accessed through joining our spirits to His in hope and faith and love. These are living attributes given us by our Creator, and when activated by a turning toward Him, open the door to His life.

The very moment that we ask ourselves, “I wonder if God could help me in this situation?” the Holy Spirit answers “Yes!” The door opens , and eyes and ears that have seen and heard only man-made miracles will glimpse something they have never seen or heard before.

Jesus said, “I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.” (Revelations 3:20)

This is beyond what eye has seen or ear heard, yet it is a promise of the risen Christ, foretold by Isaiah and Paul.

Love n Him,
