1 Corinthians 2:9

Good Morning Father,
Your word tells us that we can’t imagine the things that You have prepared for us. Our imagination, even our wildest dreams are inadequate. We can‘t even come close. All the songs written, all the pictures painted, all the sermons preached, or words written, can’t express what you have prepared for us. How can we respond, Father, to such a scripture. How do we anticipate what we can’t imagine?
You must have thought of our limited imaginations because You surprise us with moments in time when you give us little glimpses of what You have in store for us. You bring us unexpected surprises, like a gift of healing, a gift of laughter, a gift of watching a person turn to You; a gift of all of a sudden knowing that You are right with us. We suddenly become aware of You, Your strength for the day; Your rest in our storm; Your hope in our sorrow. You answer a prayer and we are so surprised…..because we truly can’t comprehend what You have in store for us.
You have prepared pain free days, peace filled nights, rest, no tears, no sorrow, no worries or cares, and no more suffering. But when it comes to describing what you have prepared for us, we are complete failures. Anything we can think of, just doesn’t cut it.
How do we say thank you for such a promise. How do we express how much we appreciate You with our limited vocabulary and finite minds. Once again we are faced with our failure to adequately express how good You are to us. So today, Father, we pause…..We say thank you. We say we love You. Andre Crouch wrote, the voices of a million angels could not express my gratitude. That’s the way we feel, Father. So grateful, so loved, and so unable to adequately express our feelings.
We can only ask that you be blessed Father as we praise You. Be honored as we worship You. Forgive our sins….Let Your Kingdom come and Your will be done in us today.
In the name of Your Son, Jesus, we pray.
Amen
