"விதைகளின் உள்ளே" 🌳
"தேவனே, உமக்குக் காத்திருக்கிறவர்களுக்கு நீர் செய்பவைகளை, நீரேயல்லாமல் உலகத்தோற்றமுதற்கொண்டு ஒருவரும் கேட்டதுமில்லை, செவியால் உணர்ந்ததுமில்லை, அவைகளைக் கண்டதுமில்லை." ( ஏசாயா 64 : 4 )

"For from days of old they have not heard or perceived by ear, nor has the eye seen a God besides You, who acts in behalf of the one who waits for Him." (Isaiah 64:4)
The word "waiting" used in today’s verse implies living a life pleasing to God while maintaining patient faith in Him.
Those who trust in God and patiently wait for Him to act will receive and experience His supreme blessings. However, no one except God Himself can truly know the magnificent spiritual blessings He intends to bestow upon them. This is why we read, "For from days of old they have not heard... nor has the eye seen a God besides You, who acts in behalf of the one who waits for Him."
The Apostle Paul was someone who experienced these supreme spiritual blessings firsthand. While still alive, he was taken up to the "third heaven." He describes this experience himself:
"I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, God knows—such a man was caught up to the third heaven... and heard inexpressible words, which a man is not permitted to speak." (2 Corinthians 12:2, 4)
Because he had this sublime experience, Paul echoed the words of the prophet Isaiah from our meditation verse, stating:
"But just as it is written, 'Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard, and which have not entered the heart of man, all that God has prepared for those who love Him.'" (1 Corinthians 2:9)
Dearly beloved, God has reserved spiritual blessings for us that are thousands of times greater than any worldly blessing. Though we have not seen them, heard them, or even conceived of them in our hearts, today’s meditation reminds us that it is essential to believe in them.
As it is written:
"Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the men of old gained approval." (Hebrews 11:1-2)
Just as the saints of old believed and received a good testimony, let us also believe in the blessings God has prepared for us, even if we cannot see them with our physical eyes. Let us live with a fervent desire to receive them. They believed, and that is why they are remembered today.
