"No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him" - (1 Corinthians 2:9)
Writing to the Corinthians, the Apostle Paul quotes the above verse from the book of Isaiah. The verse with a slight difference reads as follows:
Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him. (Isaiah 64:4)
2 things are of note here:
God has wonderful things in store for- 1. those who love him & 2. those who wait for him.
If you love the Lord, pray to him and then wait patiently, he will reward you at his wonderful time.
In his old age, Abraham had but one desire- that his son Isaac got a good life partner. So he prayed and sent his servant Eleazer to find a bride for Isaac from among his own people.
Abraham loved God and waited patiently in prayer while his servant went searching for a suitable woman for Isaac.
How true the above promise is as we find God already having selected the right woman and sending her to the place where Abraham's servant stood waiting.
Abraham's daughter-in-law was chosen by God according to his divine purposes. In the fullness of time, she met Isaac and they got married.
If you love the Lord and have been praying for something in particular, God will answer you because of his abundant mercies. Remember, "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him."
God bless you.
