What eye has not seen or ear heard, nor the mind of man conceived, what God has for those who love Him. We have no idea of what an awesome and absolutely perfect God we serve, and how beyond description it will only get better and better forever! A billion years from now, we will be completely overwhelmed with and "satisfied" to enjoy His glory and beauty. Psalm 21 is right, we are the most blessed forever who know our God.
God is the master at understating His goodness and power. He is exalted "far above" all gods. As high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His mercy toward us. The heavens declare the glory of God and His handiwork. This simple work of God, His handiwork, seems to man to be almost infinite when we view the heavens and consider the way the planets and stars are set and maintained in space. Likewise, take the description, God is good. Notice Jesus wouldn't even let men call him good, saying there is only one who is good, God the Father in heaven. In Ephesians 1, consider the adjectives necessary to describe what God does when He reveals "the knowledge of Him." The eyes of your understanding will be enlightened so you may know "what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power." Clearly God has to touch us and enable us to receive all He has for us. What an awesome God!!!
So this final provision in the Lord's prayer opens up our imagination and allows us to express our heart appreciation for Who He is and how great His everlasting kingdom will be. Sometimes in the daily routines of life, in the chaos of the world, and maybe in the trials of our own situation, we tend to focus on our difficulties. But Jesus gave us a prayer with a conclusion that helps establish a correct understanding and vision of reality. Without a vision the people perish. His kingdom and His power, and His glory are now and forever. Amen. (That is the way it will always be!)
