Brain Power

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— 1 Corinthians 2:9 NIV

I love this confirmation of God's omnipotence. Humans use only a fraction of their available brain power. Imagine what we are capable if understanding if given even a piece of understanding of what God knows. We probably couldn't handle it.

When we were little our parents would tell us things in small bits, using simple words or examples we could understand depending on our age. As we grew we could understand more, piecing together what our parents said with what we have learned since. It's our process of filling fleshing out a subject. And for some things it's good we didn't know everything about it when we were little.

That's how God works. He knows what we can handle. Those with the gift of discernment might get a preview of sorts but it's still only bits and pieces. God has the full story. We'll find out later.

I for one am glad that God knows, that God's in control. I'm ok with that.
