The Lord is awe-inspiring, fearsome, fascinating, intriguing, majestic, and full of splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of him and what came to my heart and mind in 2 Chronicles 9:5-7,
"She [the queen of Sheba] said to the king [Solomon], 'The report I heard in my own country about your achievements and your wisdom is true. But I did not believe what they said until I came and saw with my own eyes. Indeed, not even half the greatness of your wisdom was told me; you have far exceeded the report I heard. How happy your people must be! How happy your officials, who continually stand before you and hear your wisdom!'"
The queen of Sheba was astonished at what she found when she went to see King Solomon after hearing about him and his accomplishments.
I can't help but think that this will be our reaction [and more so!] when we all finally arrive to see the Lord and all the he has for us in the resurrection. I am quite certain we will all be astounded and amazed to find what it means to be a co-heir with Jesus Christ, "The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ..." Romans 8:16-17a.
