Isaiah 64:4-8
For since the beginning of the world Men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, Nor has the eye seen any God besides You, Who acts for the one who waits for Him. 5 You meet him who rejoices and does righteousness, Who remembers You in Your ways. You are indeed angry, for we have sinned — In these ways we continue; And we need to be saved. 6 But we are all like an unclean thing, And all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags; We all fade as a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, Have taken us away. 8 But now, O Lord, You are our Father; We are the clay, and You our potter; And all we are the work of Your hand.

Having the mind of Christ opens our understanding to all God said as recorded in the Bible (1 Corinthians 2:7-16). He tells us to wait for Him, to thinks of Him in all we do, to admit our sin and need for saving from it. He is our heavenly Father, shaping us as His handiwork - so we should be thankful and joyful to be delivered and given such understanding as He does to all who are made new in Christ Jesus! He is seen and heard by us in His grace.
