Thank you Kat

--- Quote from: musicman on April 03, 2008, 08:01:00 PM ---We'll be living in mansions on puffy white clouds peering out on gold laced streets and eternally indulging in every fleshly desire that our feeble minds have lusted over throughout our lifetimes.
Then again,
Maybe we'll be serving God in some other way.
--- End quote ---
So you believe that we'll still be lacking things then? And our only purpose will be to 'serve God' with nothing in it for us?
Doesn't sound all that great from that point of view.
King James Bible
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. 1 Cor 2:9
But from this verse, it definitely sounds like maybe there is something in it for us, after all.
Stevernator:
Hi Sorin,
I don't think musicman said anything about us lacking anything. Of course God will provide for us in unimaginable ways but isn't it possible for us to gain pleasure from serving God. There are many scriptures that speak of gaining pleasure from obeying the Lord.
Psa 37:4
4 Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Neh 8:10
10 Nehemiah said, "Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is sacred to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength."
Joh 15:10-11
10If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love. 11I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.
etc etc.
Peace be with you,
Steve

Hello all! :D
I won't pretend to know the things that you are looking for....but I do believe that the Spirit of God IS revealing them to us as He desires to....
1 Corinthians 2:8-12
8Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
9But 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.
10But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
11For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
12Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
I feel so loved by God when I think on this!

Good insights Joyful1
Some are of the opinion that what they have is from their own powers and is produced from free will.
Peace be to you
