 UNSPEAKABLES


Jack Davis


“Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable Gift.” II Cor. 9:15


Thank God! Is it not our sweet privilege to give thanks? Shall we gladly let our appreciation of His person be expressed? Oh, yes, let us tell Him about it. We sense at times that words are not sufficient to express all that we know in our hearts of Him. It is so enjoyable to tell our Father how glad we are to be part of His family, of people that know and honor Him as our true and living God. 


How wise to praise and glorify Him as our loving and giving  Father. He gives to all that totally commit to Him richly all things to enjoy, and supplies all our need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Through a knowledge of him we begin to enter into all that pertains to life and godliness. It is an encouraging realization that in Him we live, move, and have our being.


But before we could begin to enjoy the benefits of God’s unspeakable gift. His beloved Son had to be delivered up to the cross of shame for us all. By bearing all our sin in His body on the tree, He provided that all that believe on Him could be justified from all things.


In order to be able to fully thank Him for His unspeakable giving, there must be faith’s absolute and abundant receiving. That is, an appropriating, laying claim thereof for our own. It seems that it will take eternity just to unfold before our grasp all that has been made available to us in Him. Peter indicates that such believing produces and will bring unspeakable joy – I Peter 1:8.


Paul heard unspeakable words, possibly after being stoned to death on His way to Derbe, which influenced him to glory, boast in, and endure even immeasurable pressure. II Cor. 12:4-5 and II Cor. 1:8.


To each of us in given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ, God’s unspeakable gift (Eph. 4:7). How much of Him do you want? What capacity do you have for Him? It is evident that full thanksgiving submits all of me to Him. “Thanks be unto God which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” – I Cor. 15:57.
