1 Corinthians 2:9-10

"But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God."
1 Corinthians 2:9-10


I like "the deep things of God" in this scripture... sounds quite intriguing. :)  And I like the fact that the first verse explains that something is indescribable... but then lets us know that God can express it, and communicate it to us... and that he does.  There are some indescribable things in this life, too overwhelming to be expressed in words... but the Spirit can communicate them.  There are moments in our lives where we are just blown away with beauty.  Filled to overflowing with the wonder of God's creation or the wonder of life and joy... and unless you are there with someone, there is no way to describe it or share it with anyone, because no words fit... they aren't big enough, or delicate enough, to do the job.  But God always always understands, and can even communicate that feeling with your inadequate words if you ask.  And finally, the first verse.  The things that God has prepared for us are beyond description.  Those moments of indescribable joy that we have in this life are just a taste of what is in store... if we can only keep to the path and not wander out in the trackless waste after things that won't bring us joy.
