There are myriads of people who are sincerely believing and waiting in vain for the hope and aspiration of their faith to be fulfilled, because they have truly and sincerely, knowingly, or unknowingly, placed their faith in error and deception that cannot reap God’s blessings. Psalm 11: 3: tells us, “If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” These foundations are the fundamental building blocks which the Lord Himself put in place for all, in and through, His Spoken and given Word; it is the Rule of Law. Everything has to be done God’s way for anyone to begin to receive the benefits He offers. It applies to every facet of every area of life, from gardening to personal behavior; everything works when order is applied. One cannot follow the Ten Commandments given by God to Moses, if they are not known to he or she, or if they are rejected.
So, today’s Scripture takes on a very specific meaning to a very specific group of people; God acts in behalf of the ones who wait for Him, the only One Who is able to intervene for all. I may know the Word of God, but not even begin to know the God of the Word, unless I choose to adhere to His blueprint for my life. My obedience to God’s Word will determine my position before God in His Eyes. We read this same verse in 1 Corinthians 2: 9: saying “But on the contrary, as the Scripture says, “What eye has not seen and ear has not heard and has not entered the heart of man, (all that) God has prepared (made and keeps ready) for those who love Him (who hold Him in affectionate reverence, promptly obeying Him and gratefully recognizing the benefits He has bestowed).
Psalm 37: 18: says, “The Lord knows the days of the blameless (complete or perfect in Him), and their inheritance will be forever; we have to note that there is a reward attached; an inheritance. 2 Timothy 2: 19: says, “Nevertheless, the firm foundation of (laid by) God stands (sure and unshaken), having this seal (inscription), “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Everyone who names (himself by) the Name of the Lord is to abstain (stay away) from wickedness (sin).” 2 Chronicles 7: 14 : says, and (If and when) My people who are called by My Name humble themselves and pray and seek (crave, and require of necessity) My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Hebrews 11: 6: says, “But without (obedient) faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must (necessarily) believe that God exists and that He is the Rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him (out).
Dearest Holy Lord Jesus: Thank you so very much for Your wonderful promises to us this morning, that if and when we seek You with all our heart, You will let yourself be found (Jeremiah 29: 13). Come by Your Holy Spirit, and confirm within all hearts that You are committed to accomplish all that concerns Your people, as they submit completely to Your Ways. May You be greatly glorified today in all who will conform to Your Will and blessings for their lives. Glory to You alone!
